ARGOS - System for Heterogeneous Mobile Robot Teleoperation

摘要

ARGOS (advanced robotic graphical operation system) for teleoperation of various mobile robots through sensory supported visual telepresence is presented. Two robots -Orpheus and Hermes - made on Department of Control and Instrumentation (DCI) are described as examples of systems with different features and capabilities that may be controlled through ARGOS. Integration of 3D scanners to the robots and their measurement to ARGOS system is presented. Data fusion of CCD color camera data, thermovision data and 3D proximity data through extended 3D robot evidence grids is described
