Objetivo
This project intends the development of a highly efficient vehicle teleoperation system for remote interventions, entertainment and research applications. TELEDRIVE project makes a separation of roles in the teleoperation activity; vehicle operator/supervisor/virtual passengers. The operator is the person who tele-drives the remote vehicle. The supervisor is the person who controls the operation of the tools, system or end-effector installed on the remote vehicle (remote interventions) or just receives data from the sensors and cameras installed on the vehicle and checks operational safety (entertainment applications). Virtual passengers are the persons, who installed in a cabin named showroom, (being the cabin mounted on a motion base) receive images from the remote vehicle and also motion stimuli by the replication of the remote vehicle motion done by the showroom motion base.
Objectives:
This project will end with a prototype demonstrator of the technology. The system to be developed in this project is formed by:
-A multi-sensory operator control station, generating audio, visual and kinesthic stimuli;
-A showroom for virtual passengers, generating audio, visual and kinesthetic stimuli;
-A multi-sensory supervisor station, generating audio, visual and kinesthetic stimuli (depending on the specific application);
-A remotely operated vehicle (adaptation of commercial one) suitable for the specific project application;
-Communication links (RF, INTERNET and/or GPRS) between vehicle and operator/supervisor/showroom stations.
