چکیده

Autonomous and semi-autonomous full-sized ground vehicles are becoming increasingly important, particularly in military applications. Here we describe the instrumentation of one such vehicle, a 4-wheel drive Hummer, for autonomous robotic operation. Actuators for steering, brake, and throttle have been implemented on a commercially available Hummer. Control is provided by on-board and remote computation. On-board computation includes a PC-based control computer coupled to feedback sensors for the steering wheel, brake, and forward speed; and a Unix workstation for high-level control. A radio link connects the on-board computers to an operator's remote workstation running the Georgia Tech MissionLab system. The paper describes the design and implementation of this integrated hardware/software system that translates a remote human operator's commands into directed motion of the vehicle. Telerobotic control of the hummer has been demonstrated in outdoor experiments.

Peer Instruction to Assist a Teleautonomous USAR System

While the goal of Urban Search and Rescue is the autonomous mapping of a damaged building coupled with the location of human victims, artificial intelligence is not yet advanced enough to fully support such a rich and complex domain. Human teleoperation of robots is still relied upon extensively in this and many other domains, but suffers because of operator fatigue and problems with situationa...

Action selection in teleautonomous systems

Numerous generalized architectures for telerobotic systems have been proposed. Most are hard-wired in-stantiations of a speciic approach, which rarely address the interactions between human and autonomous elements of teleautonomous systems. The work described here provides a more general, easily extensi-ble and modiiable architecture. Speciic issues addressed include methods that fuse decisions...
