Abstract
This paper describes the approach used by the Sarbot-Team for controlling the Atlas humanoid robot during the DARPA Virtual Robotics Challenge that took place in June 2013. Herein we present a proposal for overcoming the restrictions on performance caused by limited bandwidth, high latency and the effects of signal degradation induced by beyond line of sight (BLOS) conditions, RF interference, and other related circumstances.
Experimental evaluation confirmed the effectiveness of our approach and present an alternative for coping with constrained communication conditions during the control of humanoid robot deployed at unattended areas.
