GPRS-based Real-Time Remote Control of MicroBots
Introduction
Telemetry i.e. remote monitoring and control of machines, is increasable
becoming popular.telemetry, data collection, remote control, robotics,
maintenance and security, logistics or telemedicine are the important applications. In order to achieve real-time telemetry over a GPRS data network robotics
and M2M(machin eto machine communication are combines).
COMMBOTS
The COMMBOTS project aims to create a group of MicroBots equipped with mobile
communication and location (GPS) facilities. They can be deployed in dangerous environments to gather data and materials, or for surveillance and alarm control in
security zones.
It has two components :
(1) MicroBots
and (2) Control Stations.
Microbot:
it can receive commands from the control
centres and send responses. through a mobile communication
module (GSM/GPRS).
control stations:
Control Stations allow a user to monitor and control at anytime and anywhere the
whereabouts and actions of a fleet of MicroBots.
The COMMBOTS Architecture:
a client/server/client architecture is made use of aimed to ease end-to-end
communication .
MicroBots:
They contain:
-Extremities, i.e. the wheels together with the engines that move them
-Body, i.e. the framework that gives weight and stability to the bot
-Senses, i.e. sensors to capture information from its environment: luminosity,
temperature, images, and so on.
-Brain:
the microcontrollers that manage the engines and sensors and the communications module like the owa22A are used.
Control Stations:
Control Stations using the following technologies have been designed:
Web/WAP Control Stations:
They transmit data through HTTP/WSP in XHTML or
WML format and The interface of these stations is generated dynamically by the web component of the MicroBots Proxy. a mobile WAP browser, a web browser in a PDA and a web browser
in a PC can control it.
