A Distributed Control Group of Mobile Robots 159<br />

Fig. 1. Overview of Drive-By-Wire manual control system <strong>in</strong> comparison to the mechanical<br />

manual control<br />

"Unmanned Ground Vehicle on BMP II Vehicle Platform", that has been developed<br />

by Combat Vehicles Research Development Establishment, Avadi, Chennai,<br />

India. The prototype consists of Drive-By-Wire system, which <strong>in</strong>cludes electromechanical<br />

actuators and drives. This system is controlled by a controller and<br />

receives commands through wireless network from the Graphical User Interface<br />

located <strong>in</strong> base station [8]. Modern automotive <strong>in</strong>dustry is work<strong>in</strong>g on new technologies<br />

<strong>in</strong> order to <strong>in</strong>crease safety of cars. Practical example of successful project<br />

<strong>in</strong> this direction are the assistance systems developed by Volkswagen [13]. They<br />

have implemented numerous systems that aid driver <strong>in</strong> driv<strong>in</strong>g the car e.g. front<br />

assist or lane assist.<br />

2 Literature Review<br />

Base for construction of the control system is the RoboSoccer project, referred to<br />

as an Environment. Its ma<strong>in</strong> modules are used <strong>in</strong> order to reuse the work already<br />

done, mak<strong>in</strong>g possible focus<strong>in</strong>g on the real control algorithms, <strong>in</strong> turn giv<strong>in</strong>g back<br />

a great test<strong>in</strong>g and learn<strong>in</strong>g facility.<br />

Figure 2 shows the general overview of the RoboSoccer project system.<br />

Its divided <strong>in</strong>to three ma<strong>in</strong> parts:<br />

1. Robot subject.<br />

2. <strong>Vision</strong> system.<br />

3. Radio system.<br />

Each of the parts is described <strong>in</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g sections <strong>in</strong> details.
