WP 1 Problem Analysis of Living and Nonliving Entities

 

WP1WP2WP3WP4WP5WP6

Tasks:

  1. Research analysis of potential telepresence user interface in an environment with incomplete, imprecise and possibly delayed  information
  2. Analysis of existing telematic systems
  3. Requirements specification for the hybrid telematic system with emphasis on localization, coordination and cooperative planning with incomplete, delayed, and vague information. Design of the PeLoTe system
  4. Analysis and definition of software architecture and proposals of  benchmark tests for the hybrid telematic systems

The main goal of this workpackage is to determine the scenarios for the teleoprated mission of human and robots. The following scenarios were selected as the most interesting application of Pelote system:

  • Search and rescue
  • Tele-maintenance of industrial robots
  • Service robots in home environment
  • Planetary rovers
  • Remote experiments in Tele-education

The sensor for this application were selected:

  • Sensors for localization, e.g.
    • GPS, ground-based RF beacons
    • DRM, odometry sensors
    • gyroscope, magnetic compass
    • accelerometer
  • Sensors for obstacle avoidance, e.g.
    • tactile sensors / bumpers
    • radar / sonar / lidar, ultrasonic sensors, laser scanner
    • force sensors / strain gauges
    • light enhancing glasses
  • Sensors for environment characterization, e.g.
    • video camera
    • infra-red sensor, microphone
    • gas / radiation / fire / smoke detection, temperature sensor
