Abstract

A monitoring robot capable of doing network and RF communication is introduced. The robot has several features that poses arbitrary position thanks to a mechanism combining the 4wheel drive and 4 link mechanism, transmits an image and command data via RF wireless communication. Moreover, the image data from the camera are transferred through a network communication. The robot plays a role in monitoring what is happening around the robot, and covers wide range due to a moving camera associated with the 4 arms. The robot can adjust its mass center by the 4 link mechanism, hence it guarantees a stability in moving on the slope.

네트워크와 RF 통신이 가능한 감시용 로봇에 대해 소개한다. 이 로봇은 4 바퀴와 4개의 링크로 구성된 메카니즘으로 인하여 자유로운 위치 조절이 가능하며, 이미지와 데이터를 RF를 통하여 전송하는 기능을 지니고 있다. 또한 네트워크 상에서 데이터와 카메라 이미지가 전송된다. 이 로봇은 로봇 주위에 일어나는 상황을 모니터링하고 4개의 암 구조를 통하여 넓은 영역을 확보한다. 이 로봇은 4개의 링크를 통하여 무게 중심을 조정하여 경사지에서의 안정성을 보장한다.
