This project report will discuss the development of a web-based mobile robots tracking system. The users are able to monitor the status of the robots through the internet. The website is created using Java Server Pages and the data to be displayed on the webpage is stored in the MySQL database. An algorithm on how to handle the incoming data to be used to update the database will be explained in detail. NetBeans program is used to read the input files and create SQL statements in the output files. The output files are then used for updating the database. In our final implementation, the Resource Agent will assign coordinates for each robot. LabView will then navigate the robot to its designated location and an update of their location will be sent to the server. The database in the server will then create SQL statement to update the database. The updated data will then be displayed on the webpage.
