Abstract:
Wireless Communication links plays a vital role in robotics field. We need robust
communication links through which we can send control commands to robots and also
receive back the vital information like telemetry from the robots regarding its health and the
required purposeful information for which this robot is used. Wireless communication links
algorithm should be good enough, so that it can detect and correct the errors induced by noise
present in the environment.
This research is focused on the optimization and robustness of the wireless
communication links used in various Robotics fields, whether these robots are involved with
the field of aerial, land or sea. This algorithm has the capability to detect the single or
multiple errors from the received packets. After detection of errors it can correct these errors
to extract the required information. Through error correction technique implementation,
robustness of the wireless communication link is increased and it also reduces the work load
on communication link to some extent. This was due to retransmission of received corrupted
data packet.
A fast, low cost and low in processing power novel configuration of implementation
of this algorithm is then proposed. The algorithm is then implemented in Embedded C and
assembly language. Atmega Microcontrollers are used to fulfill the requirement of microcomputer.
Required hardware is designed to fulfill the test of algorithm. After
implementation of algorithm on hardware, a desktop application is developed in C sharp to
compare the results on computer.
The results of implemented algorithm are compared with already published bestknown
results for the similar benchmark problems and improved results are presented. In the
end, conclusions and future research directions are also identified.
