Things like electromagnetic radiation can deny the WLAN communication between robots and controllers.
On Earth, robots are needed for situations that are hostile to humans. And one of the places where robots could operate is nuclear accidents. The electromagnetic radiation will cut the communication lines. And the smoke denies the use of lasers for communication between robots and their controllers.
One of the solutions for remote control of the robots is to introduce the coffin that is connected to the robot. The human operator that lays in the coffin uses a control panel.
And that system controls the machine through the light cable. The robot can be controlled by using a traditional controller or the operator can use BCI (brain-computer Interface) for that kind of action.
The independently operating robots
The independently operating robots could go to places that are hostile for people. But their problem is that the size of the required computers is very big. And supercomputers are needed for driving complicated algorithms. The requirement for supercomputers makes those robots extremely big.
Or the data handling must outsource to the supercomputer centers. In that case, the robot will interact with the data center over the internet. But the internet is unable to operate over extremely long distances. The fact is that if the robots operate at other planets or icy moons like Titan or Europa.
They are requiring compact algorithms for searching minerals and living organisms. The message travels a long time to Jupiter and even longer time to Saturn. And that means the supercomputers must transfer to those planetary systems.
Another idea is to use the swarms or groups of robots that are sharing their processor capacity. But that thing requires data communication between the participants of the members of that group. WLAN data sharing can be made by using radio waves or a laser system. The first system is well-known from Earth. But the problem is that if the planet has a very weak ionosphere. Or sandstorms that are creating powerful static electricity that thing can cut the radio communication line.
The low-energetic X- and gamma-ray lasers are allowing also laser systems to operate through walls.
So the researchers can replace radio-based WLAN by using the lasers or laser-LEDs that are transmitting data in optical frequencies. The problem with this kind of system is that laser-based communication requires visual contact between communicator and receiver. One of the solutions that might solve the problem of OTH (Over The Horizon) communication is a satellite or some drone that receives the laser data and then resend it to receiving unit.
But the problem is that this kind of system cannot yet communicate through walls. But if the lasers are using low-energetic X- or gamma-ray frequencies that allows using laser communication through the walls.
But the problem is that those radiation frequencies are causing cancer. And the thing is that if we are thinking the situations like nuclear accidents where the robots are the most useful the electromagnetic radiation can disturb all electromagnetic frequencies. And that thing denies the communication between robots and the communication between robots and supporting computer.
The best solution is the internal data handling unit. And the problem is that the computer that is needed is extremely powerful. Powerful computers are large.
A compact-size quantum computer would be the best solution. But the system requires compact-size quantum computers. The size of those machines is enormous because they need absolute stable conditions.
Theoretically, there is possible to make a quantum computer that fits in the ring. But the quantum computer requires an enormous cooling system. that decreases its temperature to zero kelvin that ends the oscillation. But maybe the 2D superconducting and photon-based microchips are the answer for this kind of problem.
