2P2-A05 Development of the high throughput network for mobile robots

Abstract

When we operate rescue robots in desarster area, the most effective tool is visual infomation obtained by video cameras on the robots. However, the network transmission capacity in a traditional single channel Ad-hoc network is limited to 4-6Mbps in general. This amount of capacity is not enough because rescue robot mounts 2 or 3 cameras to gather enviromental infomation. This paper describes the development of robots with multiple channels Ad-hoc networking system to extend the scale of rescue operation.
