Abstract

This study presents the remote control of a mobile robot using iPhone based on Wi-Fi communication. The paper proposes the following set of user interfaces : acceleration mode, arrow touch mode, and jog-shuttle mode. To evaluate the proposed three interfaces, a virtual robot is controlled in a monitor to follow a referenced trajectory using iPhone. In simulation, the standard deviation and summed errors are analysed for showing good and weak points of the proposed three interfaces. The proposed interface replace an additional remote controller requiring cost with a cellular phone. Results of an experiment show that the proposed interfaces can be effectively used for remote robot control.

본 논문은 아이폰을 사용하여 WiFi 통신을 기반으로 이동로봇을 원격 제어하는 연구에 대하여 다룬다. 무선제어를 위하여 다음과 같은 세 가지 인터페이스를 제안 한다 : 기울기 모드, 방향 터치 모드, 조그셔틀 모드. 세 가지 인터페이스를 평가하기 위해 모니터에 그려진 궤적을 아이폰의 인터페이스를 사용하여 가상 로봇을 제어 하였다. 세 가지 인터페이스의 장단점을 분석하기 위해 표준편차와 오차가 시뮬레이션에서 분석되었다. 제안된 인터페이스는 추가비용이 별도로 필요한 무선 제어기를 휴대폰으로 대체하게 해준다. 실험의 결과로 제안된 인터페이스들이 원격 로봇 제어를 위해 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 보여준다.
