Comparison of Three Comparison of Three Wireless Based Wireless Based Technologies for Technologies for Robotic Applications Robotic Applications Joseph Gundel Joseph Gundel Lan Reeder Lan Reeder COT5930 Fall 2010 COT5930 Fall 2010

In our project, we will compare and In our project, we will compare and implement three different wireless implement three different wireless technologies for using with robotic technologies for using with robotic microcontroller applications. We will microcontroller applications. We will respectively use ZigBee, WiFi, and , WiFi, and respectively use Bluetooth to communicate wirelessly to Bluetooth to communicate wirelessly to Arduino based robots. Arduino based robots.

Goal Goal The goal of our project is to implement a The goal of our project is to implement a basic protocol for each of the three basic protocol for each of the three technologies and compare the cost, power technologies and compare the cost, power consumption, and accuracy in order to consumption, and accuracy in order to offer users choices based on their offer users choices based on their requirements. requirements.
