Interacting mobile robots for tele-operation system using the World Wide Web

摘要

This paper discusses the interacting mobile robots for tele-operation system using the World Wide Web. The main components of this paper are user interface, networking, simulation, and robot control. The standard graphic user interface (GUI) is implemented using Java Programing language. The Web browser is used to integrate the virtual environment and the standard GUI (Java applet) in a single user interface. Users can access a dedicated WWW server and download the user interface. Java application has been developed to communicate and control the robot using RF communication. In addition to user's direct control a fuzzy logic control is applied. We propose the use of FLC (fuzzy logic controllers) that incorporate expert knowledge in terms of linguistic rules. Experiments have shown that such fuzzy controlled mobile robots can have a better performance than a fine-tuned PID-controlled mobile robots.
