Multiple Resource Host Architecture (MRHA) for the Mobile Detection Assessment Response System (MDARS) Revision A

摘要

The Mobile Detection Assessment and Response System (MDARS) program employs multiple robotic security platforms operating under the high level control of a remote host, with the direct supervision of a human operator. This document describes the major components of a distributed host architecture geared towards a single guard controlling up to thirty-two robots, and explores some of the key issues that were considered in the development phase. The objective is to field a supervised robotic security system that basically runs itself until an exceptional condition is encountered, which requires human intervention.
