MSRS + iCreate + bluetooth connection
I am working on a project in which I have a very short deadline.I am trying to determine if the following idea will work.
I want to control 6 iCreates through Microsoft Robotics Studio (MSRS).The participants will have to control the 6 robots giving commands and tele-operating when necessary.The participant will not be in the same room as the robots.They will have to rely completely on the interface as such they will need to have a visual representation of the environment which is where the MSRS comes in.
I need help on the actual connection.One possible method is to purchase six Bluetooth adapters for the iCreate http://www.elementdirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=44&osCsid=88a17773ba9428c5e24d175e8aac6ec9
These adapters will give Bluetooth ability to the iCreates.I could than have all six connect to the PC that is running MSRS.This I hope will allow the user the use the 3D visual environment of MSRS to control the 6 iCreates.Am I on the right track?
Ideally I want to control the iCreates over the internet giving me the ability to do my study at my home University instead of at the University that has the robots.Is it possible to give bluetooth to the 6 iCreates than have a server within range of the bluetooth signal.The server will accept the 6 Bluetooth signals.The person can than be at a different location and do a network connection to the server which has the 6 iCreates connected via bluetooth.Is this possible? I notice from the VPL tutorials that the
As a contingency plan I am thinking of using the legos mindstorm robot
I am still going through the tutorials and some these questions may be answered as I go through them but I only have about 3.5 weeks left.
Thanks for any help on this
