Train Dispatcher 3.5 Password: A Web-Based Dispatching System for Autonomous Mobile Service Robots

A centralized structure of non-autonomous units can be inadequate for an adaptable system because of its complexity. In contrast, a decentralized system organization distributes functionality and control among components, resulting in an adaptable, highly available, and multi-user/multi-service system.

The ROBODIS dispatching system presented here is a web-based system that allows service requests to be entered from any location with web access. Unlike other web-based systems, the mobile robots operate autonomously and are not teleoperated by users. The system consists of an extensible number of physical and software components that communicate via radio link and Ethernet.

Each component represents and controls objects such as robots, doors, cameras, and elevators or software components like a job scheduler and a database manager. The control logic for decision-making is implemented locally on each component, allowing them to operate autonomously.

The ROBODIS system has been developed by Markus Theißinger of Codit - Informationstechnik GmbH in Germany and Hartmut Surmann of GMD - German National Research Center for Information Technology. Their work was presented at the FSR'99 conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Overall, the ROBODIS dispatching system is an innovative solution that enables efficient management of multiple autonomous service robots. Its web-based interface allows users to access and control the system from anywhere, making it a valuable tool for various industries.
