Abstract :
This paper considers the long distance master-slave and mutual synchronization of unicycle-type mobile robots. The issues that arise when the elements of a robotic network are placed in different locations are addressed, specifically the time-delay induced by the communication channel linking the robots. Experiments between wirelessly controlled mobile robots located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands and Tokyo, Japan demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.
