Setting-Up Wireless Communication System for Mine Rescue Robots

Abstract:

Aiming at the communication system breakdown after coal mine explosions collapses and other accidents, this paper puts forward an efficient construction method for long distance of wireless communication system in emergency with coal mind rescue robots which are self-adaptive and self-networking. With a two-level robotic system of detecting-robot and carrying-robot as the main, the carrying-robot, equipped with distributing device which contains a "roly-poly" wireless repeater, enters into an accident underground, analyzes the underground communication environment via network monitoring system, controls the distributing device and safely distributes the repeaters in order to realize secure and reliable communication with underground coal mine rescue robot. The test shows that the wireless communication system for emergency is rational, feasible, safe and reliable.
