  1. Workshop on Wireless and Networked Robots, ICRA, 2004 Wireless Network Architectures for Collaborative Tele-operation Dezhen Song Ken Goldberg University of California, Berkeley Supported in part by

  2. robot participants remote environment

  3. Robot System Taxonomy (Tanie, Matsuhira, Chong 00) Single Operator, Single Robot (SOSR): Single Operator, Multiple Robot (SOMR): Multiple Operator, Single Robot (MOSR):

  4. Applications

  5. Related Work • Recent Networked Robots • Schenker et al. (01) • Goldberg and Siegwart (02) • Coppin, P. and Wagner, M.D. (02) • Konukseven, I., Erkmen, A. et al (02) • Meng et al.

  7. Multi-Operator Single Robot (MOSR) System Remote Environment Operators

  8. The “Tele-Actor”: Operators Remote Environment

  9. Requirements • Low cost • Omni-directional • Light in weight • Low power consumption • Small in size • Moderate range (>80M)

  10. Analog vs Digital RF Transmitter RF Receiver Digitizer Analog Wireless Transmitter Digitizer Receiver Digital Wireless

  11. Analog Wireless Cameras

  12. System Architecture (2001) Berkeley Remote Site Tele-Actor Server Analog 2.4Ghz Internet Local Director Users Anywhere Tele-Actor

  13. Field Test for Analog Wireless Microcam July 18th, 2001, SF Opera House, 5th Annual Webby Awards

  14. Analog Wireless Summary • Pros • Full motion picture in video transmission • Easy to configure • No noticeable time delay in transmission • Cons • Interfere with 802.11b • Sensitive to noisy • Hard to expand due to peer to peer topology • Only transmit analogy signal • Not flexible in selecting hardware

  15. Digital Wireless Options

  16. System Architecture (2002-) Berkeley Remote Site Tele-Actor Server Camera Person Local Director Wireless Network (802.11b) Internet Wireless Basestation Users Tele-Actor Anywhere

  17. Hardware Helmet designed by E. Paulos

  18. 802.11b Field Tests Nov. 8 & Dec. 19, 2001, UC Berkeley Micro-fabrication Laboratory Jul. 26, 2002, Michael Eisen's Biotechnology lab at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

  19. 802.11b Field Tests • HTTP • VoIP • Videoconferencing Feb 13, 2002, SF Exploratorium

  20. Genetics Laboratory (LBL) November 2002 14 seniors from Galileo High, SF

  21. Summary • 802.11b • Pros • Flexible in network topology • Transmit all types of signals • Widely accepted as standard • Cons • Limited bandwidth • Noticeable time delay in signal • Sensitive to interference (2.4Ghz band is busy.) • Problematic in roaming between networks
