A Proposal on a Location recognition system using Odometry for Mobile robots for Support of Operations in Remote patrol of Construction fields

Deployment of IoT services consists of two principal types: the horizontal type which employs a common platform for multiple services, and the vertical type which utilizes a specialized environment for each service. In this paper, authors describe the location-aware service for mobile robots in construction fields as an exemplary of vertical IoT services. The authors have developed a position recognition system using the odometry of mobile robots to support the operation of existing remote patrol systems for construction sites. In the system, the odometry of the mobile robot is employed to display the current position of the robot within the construction site on a map generated by BIM, thereby providing support for the operation of the remote patrol system. This system improves the efficiency of remote patrols by allowing the operator to know the exact current location of the robot on the site, in addition to the camera images from the existing robots.
