ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION WORLDWIDE

1. Australia

Robot Etherbot. At Monash University researchers report the development of a portable mobile robot system called ‘Etherbot’. It carries no computer aboard but instead, the calculations required to determine the robot's location and the shortest obstacle-free path to a desired destination are carried on a nearby workstation. This is a Silicon Graphics workstation with which the robot communicates via a 2Mb radio Ethernet link. This reduces the payload and increases the time that the robot can travel before its batteries need recharging.
