2.1 Robot Subject<br />

The subject to control is a robot, shown at figure 3 with a two-wheeled differential<br />

drive, operated by two DC motors. Each of motor has an <strong>in</strong>cremental magnetic<br />

encoder, that counts how much a wheel has rotated, and it is the only sensor available<br />

at the vessel. It has an on-board micro controller constructed, based on<br />

ATMEL microprocessor. It is able to realize simple control procedures, mak<strong>in</strong>g it<br />

possible for Master Control System to focus on more sophisticated algorithms [7].<br />

The wireless connection, serv<strong>in</strong>g as <strong>in</strong>put for commands, is provided by the Xbee<br />

module, properly <strong>in</strong>terfaced by the software <strong>in</strong> the on-board controller. The same<br />

Xbee module exists at the other end, <strong>in</strong> Radio system of the project. Therefore<br />

robots could be <strong>in</strong>terpreted as agents [19].<br />

The robot provides <strong>in</strong>terface for follow<strong>in</strong>g actions, which can be commanded<br />

through the Radio:
