Remote control and monitoring of an underground robotic drilling equipment for landfill remediation

Pollution control and landfill remediation are urgent incumbents, and robot technology is effective means to supply safe and worthy solutions, on condition to figure out reliable task-oriented architectures and to enable remote-steered duty cycles by implementing the appropriate software-hardware information aids. The paper presents a noteworthy example achievement, specially addressing the requirement analysis, as basic step to develop the instrumental architecture for the measurement and actuation equipment, and to develop the suited remote sensing and control environment, based on an innovative client-server lay-out. The approach introduces actual design demands by explanatory instances, to show how the approach is exploited for the case achievement.
