Abstract

In this paper, we describe the architecture of Tensai Gothalo, a network monitoring robotic vehicle developed in our previous research. Tensai Gothalo uses Wi-Fi modules to communicate with its slave node and also uses IR sensor modules that detects the path agent called the passage and assists an autonomous robotic vehicle called the Master Tensai Gothalo in capturing the powered off server. In order to properly manipulate Master Tensai Gothalo, it should be enhanced with the functionalities of routing, image recognition, network aggregation, and remotely controllable module. Instead of using general purpose distributed system solutions for these services, we employ whole lab grown technology integrating some of those functionalities with Raspberry Pi to implement simple and efficient mechanisms of robotic vehicle. We believe that such approach of integrating robotic vehicle with Raspberry Pi further enhances the network management and monitoring, yielding pragmatic solutions that leverage future network.
