Abstract

Robotics is penetrating into all aspects of human life from being a helper at daily chores to a technician performing precision operations at warehouse. Deploying mobile robots and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to conduct search and rescue operations during industrial accidents and natural disasters is one of the recent applications of robotics. These robots/UAVs are controlled remotely over wireless connections. Any disruption in connectivity of robots/UAVs may be disastrous. It is possible to reduce the chances of outage and improve reliability of communication by using multiple available communication interfaces on a device. In this demo paper, we demonstrate the use of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) in robotics communication. MPTCP uses all available communication interfaces concurrently for communication. Its use in robotics improves the connection reliability as well as the throughput. We have ported MPTCP on resource constrained devices and conducted experiments to evaluate throughput performance and error resilience of different variants of MPTCP by comparing it with that of TCP.

可靠的机器人通信使用多路径TCP

机器人正在渗透到人类生活的方方面面，从日常琐事的助手到仓库精确操作的技术人员。部署移动机器人和无人机(UAV)在工业事故和自然灾害中进行搜救行动是机器人技术的最新应用之一。这些机器人/无人机通过无线连接远程控制。机器人/无人机连接的任何中断都可能是灾难性的。通过在设备上使用多个可用的通信接口，可以减少中断的机会并提高通信的可靠性。在这篇演示论文中，我们演示了多路径TCP (MPTCP)在机器人通信中的使用。MPTCP同时使用所有可用的通信接口进行通信。它在机器人中的应用提高了连接的可靠性和吞吐量。我们将MPTCP移植到资源受限的设备上，并进行了实验，通过与TCP的比较，评估了MPTCP不同变体的吞吐量性能和错误恢复能力。
