One of the basic functions of the RMS is to provide command
and image data to human operators without requiring physical
intervention with the robot. This requires wireless communication
between the robot controller and the user. The system is designed
so that the command data are transmitted by a Bluetooth module
while image data are transmitted by a RF module. The overall RMS
structure is shown in Fig. 14. The remote controller receives input
data from the remote user. The RMS program is executed on a PC
and delivers control commands to the robot. By adopting this
structure, the RMS supervises all functions and three-dimensional
displays, and all information such as the current communication
status, robot location, and jumping potential of encountered obstacles.
This configuration provides users with flexibility when controlling
and monitoring the robot without relying on direct
observations.
