Man machine interface for remote operation of civil works equipment

Obiettivo



The project aims to design, integrate and validate in demonstration, a full scale, motorised, 5-DOF simulator - module for civil works machines. The simulator should re-construct the visual, auditive and dynamic conditions as they would be perceived by the driver in the machine. An important issue of the development being the final system cost, the simulator will be designed avoiding highly expensive component options, regarding visual displays, image and audio treatment etc. On the other hand, in order to enhance the agility and precision of the tele-operated system, an important objective of the development consists of implementing a dual force-reflecting kinaesthetic link between the machine and the operator as follows: -1. A force-feedback loop will connect the overall dynamics of the machine with the driving seat, in a way that the operator may "sense" the motion of the machine at work, such as vibrations, impacts during work, or displacement, inclination, lifting etc. -2. A second force-reflecting loop will permit to the driver to "sense" the efforts produced by the working parts of the machine (such as the arm and bucket, in the case of an excavator), through force-feedback on the driving instrumentation, joy-sticks, pedals) of the simulator. Another important objective of the development is to produce a comprehensive know-how basis for generic tele-operation equipment. The purpose is to permit the mounting of the tele-operation module on existing machines (such as standard excavators) and avoid the need for investment by the users on the complete new equipment. For this reason, a generic electro-hydraulic interface will be designed, which will permit to connect the tele-operation module on an important range of civil works machines. The final important issue of the development is safety of operation. The equipment has to remain safe both for the working environment (requiring precision of operation) as for the machine itself (avoiding self-destruction due to inadequate action). These objectives will be reached by implementing adequate monitoring routines in the inertial and force-sensing loops used by the simulator. The research approach for the development will be moving in parallel in 2 main areas as follows: A. Concerning the simulator module -1. Design and prototype manufacturing of a highly optimised structure and actuation system for the light simulator platform -2. Design and prototype manufacturing ergonomic force-reflecting displays (joy-sticks, pedals) for the operator -3. Development and implementation of robust force-reflecting control loops integrated around distributed micro-processor controller networks (CAN etc.) B. Concerning the real machine instrumentation -1. Development and integration of a generic tele-operation instrumentation interface for standard civil works machines (to be adapted on the display / control panel of the machine and serve as interface for the remote operator) -2. Design, adaptation and integration of image and data acquisition hardware as well as robust communication links for high-quality image and data transmission between the vehicle and the tele-operation module (VHF - wireless) Two important design and development criteria throughout the development will be: -a. Reliability and safety of operation. - b. Best performance per cost ratio.
