“…If there is an abnormality in the parameters, this information will be sent to the monitoring station through the Lo-RaWAN® gateways. T. Maneekittichote et al [14] proposed a LoRaWAN-based bidirectional communication system that allows the robot to send and receive information/commands from a user. The experiment was aimed to test whether the mobile robots can successfully reach the target location by avoiding obstacles and by continuously communicating with the user.…”

To avoid risking the lives of rescue team personnel in the event of disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, etc., Search and Rescue (SAR) robots are increasingly incorporated into the operation. One of the major challenges in integrating SAR robots into rescue operations is the potentially severely damaged infrastructure within the disaster site. A functional communication system is critical for exchanging real-time information between the robots and the base station. Given the limited coverage or absence of communication systems in a severely affected disaster site, a novel communication architecture for search & rescue missions based on Long Range (LoRa) Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) and a SAR robot called Rescuer are proposed. Rescuer is a SAR robot that can operate in worst-case disaster sites where all communication infrastructure has been wiped out. It has been tested in a Gazebo simulated environment as well as an actual test setup inside the University of Detroit Mercy's lab facility and showed great promise. In this test, the Rescuer robot was monitored and controlled from a remote base station.

“…Here, a LoRa-based algorithm for manipulating a UGV to autonomously follow a target has been developed and tested. Maneekittichote et al [28] discussed the use of a hybrid combination of long range and localization strategies to manage four mobile robots. The method used were based on RFID, different sensors and the long range network (LoRa) to communicate information between robots.…”

In this study, a Long Range (LoRa) based bidirectional secured communication link for controlling and monitoring the robots from a remote location is proposed. The security features and structure of the LoRa is build upon the standard protocol called LoRa wide area networks (LoRaWAN). To take advantage of these features, LoRa devices/end modules need to be connected to a network server through a LoRa gateway. However, for certain military scenarios like war zones, terrorist attack sites, disaster sites etc., the availability of standard network cannot be guaranteed, and therefore, the security features available with LoRaWAN protocol cannot be guaranteed. To overcome this critical limitation, a LoRa based secured device for establishing a bidirectional communication link between the base station and the robots without relying on any network is proposed. To secure the exchanged data, a cryptographic protocol is developed, and confidentiality, authenticity and integrity of the transmitted data between the base station and the robot are ensured. The protocol is then implemented with a pair of LoRa devices and its functionality is tested from a remote location by controlling and monitoring a Pioneer-P3Dx robot from a distance of 1.2 miles. The test shows that the proposed cryptographic protocol can securely control and track the robot from a remote location.
