摘要
本論文主旨在建立具有網路通信與紅外線遙控的智慧型機器人，其主要架構包含了主控電腦、三個全方位輪、PDA、紅外線遙控器、雷射測距儀及羅技的Webcam，透過PC及PDA遠端網路監控或是用一般紅外線遙控器來遙控機器人，紅外線遙控可在無網路之情況下或干擾時無法控制之情況依然可以遙控機器人，而PDA則是做成可全方位點選功能，透過WebCam監看可360度的控制遠端機器人，同時在無線遙控過程中如前方有障礙物距離小於30cm時會主動停止。在程式中使用Boland C++軟體，使能夠在圖控介面的環境中整合機器人跟隨、避障及遠端遙控的功能，並期能成為實驗室爾後機器人研究的一個參考。

This thesis focuses on building an intelligent robot which is capable of network communication and infrared remote control. The major components include a master computer, three omni-directional wheels, a PDA, an infrared remote control, a laser distance meter, and a Logitech webcam. The robot can be distantly manipulated by means of either remote network monitoring from the PC or the PDA, or an infrared manner from a commercial remote control. Under the circumstances that network is not available or interference exists, the robot can still be operated through infrared remote control. Moreover, one can receive a 360 degree view through the webcam, and then move the robot in any desired direction by simple clicks on the PDA utilizing the pre-programmed omni-directional functionality. The robot would also perform a spontaneous stop when encountering an obstacle in a distance less than 30 cm during wireless operation. The functions of object following, obstacle avoidance, and remote control are integrated in a graphical user interface (GUI) and programmed using Boland C++. This study is expected to serve as an experimental reference for further intelligent robot research in the laboratory.
