Development of cellular phone based JAUS-compliant unmanned system controller

This paper describes a newly developed JAUS-based mobile robot controller achieved through the use of an i-Mode application. JAUS is an open architecture enabling the control of multiple unmanned systems. For controlling unmanned robots, we developed an i-Mode-based wireless controller that recognizes JAUS-compliant message sets suitable for simultaneous control of multiple mobile robots. The proposed JAUS controller employs an http connection device and Java programming language to avoid machine dependency as well as enable rapid software modification.
