We present an approach to control a semi-autonomous robot team remotely under low bandwidth conditions with single operator. Our utilises virtual reality and autonomous robots create immersive user interface for multi-robot control. This saves big amount of bandwidth, just because there is no need transfer constant steam camera images. The environment only has be transferred once the station updated when map out date. Also, position can easily changed in more overview on situation. parts...
In robotic space missions, different challenges like high latency, unknown environments or bad visual conditions make it hard for the operators to plan and execute mission. We present our mission control using virtual reality remotely a sample-return in field via satellite.
Communication methods in modern robotic systems typically connect multiple sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and embedded PCs. There are several ways hard-and software to communicate inside between robots. In many cases a communication middleware is used. Although lot of solutions available, they either introduce overhead or designed optimized for specific domain other than robotics. But robots also have very requirements that be taken into account. This paper introduces concept...
This study evaluates the feasibility of a robotic exploration mission to skylight located in Marius Hills region on Moon. The is based theoretical evaluations while making use existing results from previous and currently running projects. Parts approach were already evaluated by autonomously navigating mapping lava tube other field trials analogue environments. We address solution access map lunar with semi-autonomous heterogenous team rovers. Main systems are: 1) surface rover, which serves...
Abstract Robots and industrial vehicles are becoming more autonomous. Currently, the robots not able to carry out all tasks autonomously, but number of those is increasing. Semi- autonomous changing requirements control stations for their surveillance control. These new technologies will provide possibility have a single operator command supervise multiple (semi-) systems. This requires stations, which support remote also commanding actions, like executing movement specific position. Here,...
