Abstract

The CONTROLAB AGV moves autonomously through any type of office environment, avoiding obstacles detected by vision and sonar sensors in real-time, and follows requests issued by any client station connected to the office network This paper presents the CONTROLAB client-server architecture using the Internet, the techniques employed for wireless communication between the server and the AGV and the adopted approaches for compressing image information sent In real-time by the AGV to the server, for transmitting it to the clients and for decompressing it before displaying
