Remote control system for User Created Robot supporting interoperability between controller and robot

摘要

User Created Robots (UCRs) are personal robots that consist of toy blocks. Usually user controls UCR via short-range wireless communications such as IR, ZigBee, Bluetooth and so on. However, this current technology has some spatial limitations. UCR remote control system gives extension of UCR related services and activities. Also this system allows in conjunction with e-education services and other external services such as web services and virtual worlds. In this paper, we handle two key issues for expansion of UCR applications. One is how to control UCR in a place far away, and the other is how to support interoperability between UCR and its controller. We solve these issues by network protocol transformation and logical key mapping structure. We suggest system architecture of UCR remote control system that supports interoperability and our implementation and evaluation results show efficiency of proposed system.
