Abstract :
A design of a tele-operated field robot for search and rescue is discussed in this paper. The paper introduces the overall structural, mechanic design, manipulation and locomotion, teleoperation with sensor fusion and an intuitive user interface on the field robot. In addition, new cross-platform software architecture, RobotKernel, is implemented in the robot. With this standardized software architecture, programming from different research groups can be easily re-used.
