A Review of Wireless Technology Usage for Mobile Robot Controller

Abstract

T his paper presents a comparative study of different wireless technology usage for mobile robot controller such as Bluetooth, WiFi or Wireless LAN and 3G. In literature review, particularly discuss the flow of the application and transferring data or information to the mobile robot. Comparison of the frequency, data rate and range for each wireless technology used in this application are discussed. The advantage and disadvantage of each wireless technology are analyzed. At the end, selection of wireless technologies depends on the type of application to be developed considering the following; range, frequency and data rate. Keyw ords: W i-Fi, WLAN, Bluetooth, 3G, Mobile Robot Controller.
