Description

Control system that controls multi-purpose unmanned robots based on communication protocol standards The present invention relates to an unmanned robot and a control system, and more specifically, to a control system for controlling a multi-purpose unmanned robot based on a communication protocol standard that enables the transfer of control authority for an unmanned robot performing a mission based on a deep learning algorithm. Military and police forces around the world are already deploying unmanned robots for various missions. Currently, unmanned robots are performing missions in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams to detect and remove unexploded ordnance or improvised explosive devices, as well as high-risk mine detection and removal missions. Furthermore, plans to deploy unmanned robots in combat have been attempted for a long time, and in the case of the United States, tests to deploy unmanned robots in urban warfare and indoor combat have been underway since the early 2000s. Generally, communication methods for operating unmanned robots are divided into wired and wireless. In the case of wired systems, there were problems in that the robot's range of action was limited by the reach of the communication line, and operation became impossible if the line was lost. On the other hand, while wireless communication allows for operation from a distance compared to wired communication, it had the problem of significant limitations on communication conditions due to the environment. In addition, unmanned robots using internal combustion engines had the problem of generating noise due to their complex structure and large, heavy engines. In addition, unmanned robots using electric motors as engines had the problem of poor fuel efficiency, resulting in limited operating time and range. In addition, current unmanned robots require at least one person to operate, and when the number of operators is small, there is a problem in that control and weapon operation cannot be performed simultaneously. In addition, there was a problem in that the control system for unmanned robots and the communication protocols of the unmanned robots were not unified.
