Robot Wireless Signal

Realtime IP System of Quince

New wireless LAN for robot(5.7GHz) will be opened for licensed robot drivers including drone. Robot is suited to use wireless LAN because we need to see the image and control it in realtime, and for software development we need IP connection. The new wifi bandwidth will solve the problem of the wireless LAN interference.
