Development of a teleoperated multiple crawler robotic system using robot service network protocol — Basic experiments by two crawler robots

Abstract

Generally, remote decontamination systems comprise several types of robots to manage various tasks. Additionally, operators expect simpler operations from the perspective of working efficiency because cooperation among teleoperated robots is frequently required. In this study, we have developed a cooperative control system for multiple teleoperated robots that have tracking functions to improve the working efficiency using robot service network protocol (RSNP). Here, the RSNP was firstly applied to the multiple teleoperated robots system. Subsequently, the developed robotic system and the results of basic experiments are explained.
