Multi-channel software infrastructure for remote control of service robots

Abstract

A versatile system for control and management of service robots is presented in this paper. This research describes the main ideas, architecture and the mandatory functionalities of a generic software infrastructure suitable for the various tasks executed by the modern service robots. The proposed system must grant remote access to the robot and full remote management, diagnostics and control. In the same time, the software system had to gather all data and control signals and distribute them over any subsystem. The paper presents real-life examples and applications of the discussed software system. Future improvements and applications of the proposed system in the field of the industrial robotics are given.
