FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a communication point and a communication point of a repeater according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

3, a repeater installation and robot position recognition system 100 using a drone according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a repeater 110, a fire site drone 120, a fire site robot robot 130, an external remote control device 140, and the like.

The installation of the repeater using the drone and the robot position recognition system 100 spray the repeater 110 by using the fire drill 120 in the interior of the fire building and use the relays 110 of the repeater 110 So that the communication shadow environment can be solved and communication environment can be established.

The fire drone 120 is arranged to spray a relay 110 capable of performing relay communication so as to be able to communicate to a deep place inside the fire building so that the relay 110 can be used to fire the on- It is possible to smoothly communicate with the fire alarm system 130 or the fire drone 120 with the external remote controller 140 and also between the fire robot 130 and the fire drone 120 in the fire scene have. In FIG. 4, this repeater 110 is sprayed inside the fire building to perform communication. The repeater 110 near the window can relay communication between the external remote control device 140 outside the fire building and the repeater 110 inside the fire building.

Accordingly, the fire site robot 130 or the fire site drone 120 performing the mission in the fire building can perform the mission without interrupting the communication.

Hereinafter, the detailed configuration will be described.

The repeater 110 is for relaying communication inside and outside the fire building. The repeater 110 may be configured to communicate with other repeaters 110 by an ad-hoc communication scheme.

The repeater 110 can communicate with the fire drill 120 or the fire site robot 130 inside the fire site.

The fire drill 120 may be configured to capture images, fire extinguishments, or collect various fire information, such as from the inside of a fire scene.

The fire site drone 120 may be configured to spray the repeater 110 throughout the fire building.

Here, the fire drill 120 may be configured to transmit, in real time, location information of a point where the relay 110 is sprayed to the external remote controller 140 and the fire site robot 130. At this time, it can be transmitted through another repeater 110 already sprayed.

The fire site robot 130 may be configured to perform fire site coping operations within the fire premises. The fire site robot 130 may be configured to capture images, fire suppression, or collect various fire information such as the air within the fire site.

The external remote control device 140 may be configured to communicate with the fire site drone 120 and the fire site robot 130 via the repeater 110 or directly.

The external remote controller 140 remotely controls the fire drill 120 and the fire field robot 130 and receives various information collected from the fire drill 120 or the fire field robot 130 in real time And display it.

Meanwhile, the fire drill 120 may be configured to spray the relay 110 in a range in which communication with other relay 110 and the external remote controller 140 already sprayed when the relay 110 is sprayed is not interrupted.

The fire drone 120 is configured to continuously exchange signals with the other relay 110 or the external remote controller 140. When the communication is interrupted while entering the inside of the fire scene, the fire drone 120 returns to the point where communication is possible again, 110). This is a method of setting the communication coverage range through the repeater 110 as wide as possible.

Alternatively, when the fire drone 120 continuously exchanges signals with the other relay 110 or the external remote controller 140, the intensity of the signal is measured in real time, and 75% -85% And the repeater 110 is sprayed at a point of a predetermined distance. The setting of the signal strength of the spraying point can be set arbitrarily differently.

On the other hand, the repeater 110 can be configured to measure the position of the fire-site robot 130 in real time. The repeater 110 may be configured to detect the distance from the fire site robot 130 in real time by measuring the intensity of the communication radio wave with the fire site robot 130 in real time. The repeater 110 may be configured to recognize the location of the fire site robot 130 by matching the distance sensor based SLAM. The repeater 110 may be configured to provide the location information of the fire site robot 130 to the external remote controller 140 in real time.
