2WIFI ROBOTS
Introduction
Wi-Fi robots are also called non autonomous robots as the power of operating the
robots lies in the hand of the controller. Unlike wired interfaces where the robots are robot
and the controlled are interconnected with wires, Wi-Fi robots utilize the wireless interface
such as Wi-Fi and WI-max. Wi-Fi robots have been used for commercial purpose at homes
such as drones to military operations such as disarming armed bombs. Though the Wi-Fi
range is limited up to a certain distance, its ease of use in operating a machine along a
designated direction is worth exploiting to help the humans in performing certain tasks.
In this report, information about Wi-Fi robots have been provided.
Background
There is a common misconception that if a robot does not move on its own without
the intervention of humans then it cannot be termed as a robot. The reality is that robots have
a certain degree of autonomy that depends on their control system. A remote controlled robot
can be tele-operated by a system that does not control its motion with an external origin [3].
The origin can be an infrared control, a cable between the robot and the controller, a radio
control device or Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11x).
The operator assisted mode in certain robots allows the human to command particular
high medium tasks that is directed to the robot via a wireless, medium like Wi-Fi. The robots
devise a solution to the command automatically. The Wi-Fi robots can go on for an extended
period of time without stopping and rarely needs high end cognitive capabilities to perform a
certain task. The robots that are present in the assembly lines are an example of this. The data
from these robots are sent to a middle server where a user is present the data [6]. The robots,
on the other hand, continue their task in a repetitive fashion. Military and space operations
