Mobile Robot: Motion Control and Path Planning

Abstract

In smart factories and industrial automation, mobile robots were majorly used. Various mobile robot types collaborate in the workplace to execute various difficult tasks. In addition, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer a virtual layer through which computational systems could access information regarding the physical world. Also, mobile robots have long played an important part in WSNs, and great research efforts were gone into figuring out how to use them to improve system performance over the last few decades. Depending on the tasks which mobile robots do in WSNs, they are categorized into 3 categories: Collection, in which mobile robots gather the data from sensor nodes; Delivery, in which mobile robots send things like energy to the sensor nodes; and Combination, in which the mobile robots gather and deliver at the same time. In this work, we’ll look at a few major ideas for dealing with problems by integrating approaches from other fields. The study introduces a wireless network paradigm for data exchange between nodes of the mobile robot. It can be utilized for applications such as control and monitoring. Communication hardware and sensors are installed in each one of the nodes. Nodes are collecting data from the sensors and relay it to a central server. Which could be a host computer that was connected to a cloud network. It’s called a WSN. The primary aim is to discover a solution for reducing robot node computation power and energy consumption.
