A Study of Robot Platform Based on WiFi Remote Control

Abstract:

In order to complete the complex operation in the dangerous environment and improve the efficiency and accuracy of industrial production. WiFi based remote control system platform is composed by the controlled mobile robot and control terminal such as PC. They communicate with each other through wireless network. The mobile robot constructs of four wheel drive. Microcontroller, sensor, wireless routing module, serial server and network camera are in the robot. Control terminal includes PC, control handle and other equipments. Using a proven and reliable wireless bridge, each network device can realize network communication with others. Based on the TCP/IP protocol, using socket programming technology, data communication can be achieved. Video capture uses the network camera. Through the test of the platform, bilateral operation with real-time haptic and video feedback are achieved. At the same time according to the real-time environmental information feedback, control terminal realizes the effective remote monitoring in the controlled end.
