OT Control and Integration of Mobile Robotic Networks

This paper introduces a configuration and integration model for mobile robots deployed in emergency and special operations scenarios. The proposed method is designed for implementation within the Operational Technology (OT) domain, enforcing security protocols that ensure both data encryption and network isolation. The primary objective is to establish a dedicated operational environment encompassing a command and control center, where the robotic network server resides, alongside real-time data storage from network clients and remote control of field-deployed mobile robots. Building on this infrastructure, operational strategies are developed to enable efficient robotic response in critical situations. By leveraging remote robotic networks, significant benefits are achieved in terms of personnel safety and mission efficiency minimizing response time and reducing the risk of injury to human operators during hazardous interventions. The technologies employed create a synergistic system that ensures data security, encryption, and user interaction through a web-based interface. Additionally, the system includes mobile robots and a read-only application positioned within the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), allowing for secure data monitoring without granting control access to the robotic network.
