The need for a high-bandwidth communication link to carry multiple video channels from a mobile robot (unmanned ground vehicle, or UGV) back to a control station requires using high-frequency RF communication links. These links are mostly line-of-sight, often limiting the flexibility of the robot’s movement. The Autonomous Mobile Communication Relays project demonstrated the capability of autonomous slave robots to provide communication-relaying capability for a lead robot exploring an unknown environment.
