Management ship and working robots in waters based on wireless network and working robot control method thereof
First Claim
1. A robot-ship group for executing a work operation on sea and river, the robot-ship group comprising:
- at least one working robot;
a first mother ship having the working robots; and
a second mother ship whose communication region is overlapped with a communication region of the first mother ship,wherein the working robot includes;
a signal strength measurement means for measuring strength of pre-defined signals transmitted from the first mother ship and the second mother ship; and
a working robot control means for determining which of the first mother ship and the second mother ship the working robot is to communicate with according to a comparison result of the signal strength measured in the signal strength measurement means, and controlling the working robots to perform the work according to a set-up route, andwherein the first mother ship includes;
a working robot preparing unit for performing a preparation work required before and after the working robots perform the work; and
a mother ship control unit for transmitting the pre-defined signal to working robot left from the working robot preparing unit and communicating data with the working robot through the authenticated second mother ship upon communication end request of the working robot.

Abstract
Provided are a management ship and working robots in waters based on a wireless network and a method for controlling working robots thereof. The robot-ship group includes: a signal strength measuring unit for measuring strengths of pre-defined signals; and a working robot control unit for determining which of the first mother ship and the second mother ship the working robot is to communicate with according to a comparison result of the signal strength, and controlling the working robots to perform the work according to a set-up route, wherein the first mother ship includes: a working robot preparing unit for performing a preparation work required before and after the working robots perform the work; and a mother ship control unit for transmitting the pre-defined signal to the working robot and communicating data with the working robot.

9. A method for controlling working robots for a work on sea and river through a wireless network formed by a first mother ship having at least one working robot for work on the sea or river and a wireless network formed by a second mother ship whose communication region is overlapped with the communication region of the first mother ship, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a) measuring strength of pre-defined signals transmitted from the first mother ship and the second mother ship; b) comparing strength of the signals measured in the step a), and determining which of the first mother ship and the second mother ship the working robot is to communicate with; and c) performing data communication with a determined mother ship and performing a work according to a set-up route. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
