topic:       Design of Wireless Communication Infrastructure
          for Robot Cars
contact person:  Keijo Haataja (keijo.haataja@uku.fi)
description:    Mobile robot cars use the designed wireless
                  communication infrastructure for passing information 
                  and data between each other. The infrastructure 
                  consists of heterogenous communication techniques 
                  (Bluetooth, UWB, ZigBee, WLAN, and so on).
