MAE 476/576: Mechatronics
Project Goal:
In this final project, we wish to examine the development and implementation of a distributed sensing and control framework for a system comprised of: the mobile robot (with its onboard processor), the base station, which are coupled together by wired and wireless communication channels. Such a distribution of sensing and control offers many benefits including reducing the computation loads on individual processors and extending the capabilities of sensors/actuators but comes at the price of need for communication protocols, increased overhead of coordination and ultimately increased complexity. Thus, in this final project we wish to examine some of these issues using the relatively simple example of remote-control/operation of the mobile robot by a base station.
