In order to complete the complex operation in the dangerous environment and improve the efficiency and accuracy of industrial production. WiFi based remote control system platform is composed by the controlled mobile robot and control terminal such as PC. They communicate with each other through wireless network. The mobile robot constructs of four wheel drive. Microcontroller, sensor, wireless routing module, serial server and network camera are in the robot. Control terminal includes PC, control handle and other equipments. Using a proven and reliable wireless bridge, each network device can realize network communication with others. Based on the TCP/IP protocol, using socket programming technology, data communication can be achieved. Video capture uses the network camera. Through the test of the platform, bilateral operation with real-time haptic and video feedback are achieved. At the same time according to the real-time environmental information feedback, control terminal realizes the effective remote monitoring in the controlled end.

The task of achieving greater flexibility and maneuverability of small transport and service units’ motion in modern factories by developing small autonomous navigation systems plays crucial role in complex automation of transport logistics nowadays. To solve navigation task, it was proposed the following approach, where as a means of assessing the environment was used computer vision system based on 5-megapixel CMOS image sensor and for the front obstacle detection was used auxiliary ultrasonic sensor as a limit switch. Authors solved the problem of yawing using artificial marking approach as along two-colored leading lines. For maneuverability increase during the turn was used speed movement control based on lines perspective. The basic design and technical characteristics of the four-wheel drive platform and the algorithm of the Raspberry PI 3/Arduino Nano hybrid control system are presented. Experimental results proved the viability of the proposed approach.

This paper proposes a method that can estimate and classify the magnitude of wheel slippage for a mobile robot in sandy terrains. The proposed method exploits a sensor suite, called an in-wheel sensor, which measures the normal force and contact angle at the wheel-sand interaction boundary. An experimental test using the in-wheel sensor reveals that the maximum normal force and exit angle of the wheel explicitly vary with the magnitude of the wheel slippage. These characteristics are then fed into a machine learning algorithm, which classifies the wheel slippage into three categories: non-stuck wheel, quasi-stuck wheel, and stuck wheel. The usefulness of the proposed method for slip classification is experimentally evaluated using a four-wheel-drive test bed rover.

This paper presents, the development of an autonomous mobile robot with a four-wheel drive and differential locomotion. The mobile robot was developed in the Machines and Industrial Equipment Department from the Engineering Faculty of Sibiu. The main purpose of developing this type of mobile platform was the ability to transport different types of cargo either in industrial spaces or on rough terrain. Another important objective was that this platform could be driven in confined or tight spaces where a high degree of manoeuvrability is necessary. The great advantage of this type of mobile platform is the ability to navigate through narrow spaces due to the type of locomotion implemented. The fact that the robot has four driving wheels gives it the ability to travel on rough surfaces and easily bypass obstacles. Another great advantage of the developed mobile robot is that it has a reconfigurable structure. The drivetrain is interchangeable, it can adopt both classic wheels and Mecanum wheels. The first part of the paper presents some general aspects concerning mobile robots and two types of traction wheels used in mobile robotic structures. Subsequently, the paper presents the steps taken in the development of the mobile wheeled platform. At the end of the paper, the electronic part that will be implemented in the structure of the robot is described. The command and control of the entire mobile platform will be described in some future work.
