In this paper, it is suggested to use a space or micro strip line as a transmission path of a robot communication inside building, and its characteristics are investigated experimentally. In the case using a space as transmission path, one of major problems is transmission loss at a bent or T-junction of floor. It is possible to decrease the transmission loss by using Yagi-Antenna, Microstrip antenna or reflectors In this paper, we suggested that a robot, which move along a guide-line, is possible the communication by remodeling into microstrip transmission line, and in the comparison of a space and microstrip line, the letter has advantage of transmission loss at any junctions.
