Abstract

MaeRobot is a platform for studying robotic systems that interact with wireless networks. MaeRobot's main goal is to provide a simple way to create and test different robotic configurations build using the Mindstorm NXT Robotics kit. A wireless mobile device running Embedded Linux OS is used as the robot controller. The architecture of the proposed platform whereas the API used to exploit its resources are described in the paper. Moreover, we provide some useful examples of applications implemented with MaeRobot.
