Improved Graphical User Interface for Crawler Robot Servosila Engineer

Abstract

Robots are widely used in many areas of modern life, and a teleoperated control plays a significant role in critical mission applications. For such applications Graphical User Interface (GUI) is one of the most popular interfaces for robot navigation and manipulation manual control. In this article, we present an improved GUI for a Russian crawler robot Servosila Engineer, which provides an operator with images from four cameras of the robot, a 3D view of a current configuration and an ability to control every joint of the robot. In addition to minor adjustments and extensions of a previous version of the GUI, a special attention is paid for modelling and control of the robot gripper.
