Robot Communication Protocol, also known as roboComm, is designed as a protocol that is supposed to allow communication between multiple robots.
The protocol supports robots using a handyboard tethered to a relay-client over a serial line.
The relay-client is required to connect to the Robot Communication Protocol, server over TCP/IP.
The two major strengths of roboComm are its simplicity and flexibility. roboComm’s flexibility which is due to it’s two layered design, allows it to be used for diverse problems.
Requirements:
· Server: The server is a command-line based java program that requires Java v1.2 or later to run.
· Relay Client: The client is a graphical application that provides an interface to the system parameters. The client requires Java v1.2 and a swing capable display.
· Handyboard App: The handyboard appication requires a handyboard to run on and IC to download the code.
