Immersive audio-visual system for an Unmanned Robotic Vehicle in a Senior Design Project

摘要

This paper presents a remote, human-controlled, immersive Unmanned Robotic System (URS) designed to assist in search and rescue operations. The system is being designed and constructed by the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Department of Electrical, Computer, Software, and Systems Engineering 2011/2012 Senior Design Team. Described in this paper are two different implementations of the URS - one is controlled using a handheld tablet and the other is controlled by way of a Human Robotic Interaction (HRI) head-mounted display. This paper outlines the architecture, implementation, and design considerations for each system.
