Design and Development of a Secure and Resilient Long-Range Wireless Communication Architecture for Autonomous Mobile Robots

Track

IT & Cybersecurity

Project description

This project aims to investigate, design, and develop a wireless communication solution as an alternative to Wi-Fi and cellular networks (4G/5G), providing reliable and secure connectivity between autonomous mobile robots and their supervision station, particularly in remote or challenging environments.

The proposed solution must support the simultaneous transmission of different types of data, including real-time video streams, robot telemetry, and remote control commands, while ensuring suitable performance in terms of communication range, bandwidth, latency, and availability.

Particular attention will be given to communication security, including encryption, authentication, and data integrity, as well as resilience mechanisms to maintain or restore connectivity in the event of communication disruptions or link failures. The project will result in an experimental prototype and a performance evaluation under different operating scenarios.
