2P1-J03 Improvement of communication improvement of mobile robot on the footsteps using variable directional antenna suited to the environment with stairs(Network Robotics)

Abstract

This paper describes about a development of variable directional antenna for mobile robot. Radio communication is one of the most important technologies for remote control robot. It not only restricts the activity of remote control robot but also discourages an operator of the robot. Even if one robot has great hardware and software, it can move tens of meters only. We developed a novel directional antenna for mobile robot, which can change the directivity, and compare it with usual whip antenna using the simulation and integrated robot.
