Abstract :
This paper presents a robust, easily upgradeable robotic platform for research along with its accompanying low-bandwidth and long-distance communication system. The proposed solution is a man-portable platform with easily accessible electronics bays and a communication system that uses free software, the Internet, and a cellular network. The design is made with the goal of developing multiple robotic platforms for cooperative robotic research
