Mobile agent to transport information through optical links

Abstract

This study shows the development of a robotic agent (RA) capable of moving autonomously in closed paths on non-planar surfaces exposed to irregularities. The RA is equipped with an optical communication system to transfer information from the environment in which it operates. The RA makes the measuring of environmental parameters and transfers this information to the particular case, to a remote source, projecting it for collaborative work with agents of the same nature in a complex system. Seaworthiness tests and return to the source are made, as well as information transfer, obtaining an agent capable of meeting the targets efficiently
