A Part - Task Trainer for Underwater Tether Awareness
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Training for Remote Sensing and Manipulation (TRANSoM) group has developed a virtual environment (VE) system for training ROV operators. Currently, the training system does not contain a model for tether interaction with objects in the VE. This paper describes a part-task trainer that has been developed for training tether awareness. The part-task trainer can also be used for testing tether models. A proposed algorithm for a tether model that handles collisions with the environment is also discussed.

Determining the Position of Underwater Tethers in Real Time
The purpose of this thesis is to present two ways of determining the position of underwater tethers, mathematical tether modeling and sensor system measurement. Though the ideal solution may be a combination of both modeling and measurements, this thesis only covers modeling and measurements individually. The tether model is designed to be placed in a virtual environment (VE) simulator in order...

In this study, a force reflection control structure is developed for the surgery training haptic system. In the surgery training haptic system, the surgical operation is cooperatively performed by a trainer and a trainee. The participation of each surgeon in the operation is established through their own haptic consoles. Although the operation is primarily performed by the trainee, the trainer ...

In present study, dynamic modeling and control of a tethered space robot system in trajectory tracking of its end effector is investigated. Considering variation of the tether length in the model, dynamics of the system is modeled using Lagrange’s method. Librational motion of the tether is controlled by adjusting the tether length similar to conventional manipulators,control of the robot...
متن کاملUUV Teams, Control From A Biological Perspective
Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are used extensively for salvage operations, ocean floor surveying and numerous inspection activities that support a wide range of underwater commercial activities. In deep water (greater than 1000 ft) an ROV is the platform of choice because of the depth and endurance limitations for human divers. The key disadvantage to an ROV is the requirement for the long te...
متن کاملViewpoint Tethering for Remotely Operated Vehicles: Effects on Complex Terrain Navigation and Spatial Awareness
OBJECTIVE The effect of viewpoint on the navigation of complex terrain and on spatial awareness was examined with the use of a simulated remotely operated vehicle. BACKGROUND The ability to build terrain models in real time may soon allow remote vehicular control from any viewpoint. A virtual tether couples the viewpoint to the vehicle's position and orientation, but shows more of the terrain...
