Developing operator´s interface for remotely controlled two section rescue vehicle

Proposal for remote-controlled vehicle assigned for operations in conditions hazardous to human lives is presented. This vehicle is equipped with remote control system and surroundings observation and visualization system. In this paper, a problem of the vehicle nearest area map building based on additional devices is considered. The vehicle is equipped with SICK LMS lasers, inclinometer and radars. Combining information from the devices allows building a map which helps an operator to drive the platform more efficiently. This is possible through the development an interface for both remote manipulation and perception. The paper presents results of development of interface to carry out prolonging jobs that require precise control of two-piece vehicle designed for manipulation and loading.
