ROS-based Telerobotic Application for Transmitting High-bandwidth Kinematic Data Over a Limited Network

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Robotic Operating System (ROS) has provided a set of packages for Networked Telerobotic Systems(NTS) to transport high-bandwidth ROS topics over a websocket communication. The main concern was totransport high-bandwidth sensory and kinematic information over the web with a smaller bandwidth usage and alower time-delay. Yet their solution for transporting kinematic data over the web is not a low-bandwidth-friendlysolution. It sends kinematic transforms only on demand which is certainly a better solution than sending a constantstream of data, but not optimal since some of this data is secondary and can be discarded.
In this paper we present a new strategy to reduce the amount of bandwidth devoted to ROS kinematic transformsduring a web-based manipulation. We proceed by selecting the primary transforms from the amount of information.
Only those transforms will be sent to clients. We propose an improved method to choose whether or not a transformis primary and will able to reduce more than 80% of bandwidth consumption. Experimental results are shown tovalidate the efficiency of the suggest method in a real time environment.
