Real-time monitoring platform for small-scaled mobile robot

To achieve better monitoring for small-scaled mobile robot, a real-time status monitoring platform is developed in this paper. The communication method between the MCU and the host computer is discussed and the formulation principles and rules of communication protocols are given. The main framework for the debugging software, the display measures of real-time monitoring data curves, and the insert method of data curves for system input and output are described. Experimental results indicate that this platform can provide effective debugging techniques for real-time stat us monitoring of small-scaled mobile robot and make it more efficient and convenient for the mobile robot system design and real-time operating.
