| Absolute Localization Outdoor |
Actual Solution |
GPS Standard-IMU-Magnetometer-Velocity Model |
| Possible Solution |
GPS RTK & Beaconing |
| Tele-Operation |
Actual Solution |
Remote Teleoperation by a digital spherical camera, with vehicle diagnostic telemetry and 3D laser scanner near the robot |
| Possible Solution |
The possibility to modify own configuration to meet different situations increase the robot's mobility and the operator's tasks, he must control many actuators. It is important to make operations totally autonomous like step up. |
| Vectorial Guide |
Actual Solution |
The platform is completlely equipped with sensors so the control must be vectorial. |
| Possible Solution |
We want to test a trajectories palnner. The architecture based on trajectories planning and execution, and a behavioural architecture will let us to test the task efficiency in hostile ambient. |
| Way Point Navigation |
Actual Solution |
The high velocity and quickness in movements for a rescue robots, make this robot a best solution for outdoor with autonomous navigation and a 3D ground reconstruction |
| Possible Solution |
TRP1-B will be provided with the ability to map explored places to join the sensor data to the original map. |
| Obstacle Avoidance |
Actual Solution |
Obstacle Avoidance is realized by a very robust reactive behaviour able to respond to unexpected obstacles and moving obstacles |
| Possible Solution |
New architecture based on behavioural fusion will let to manage in efficient manner the obstacle avoidance in an hight density obstacles presence. The robot's behaviour will depend on the number of detected obstacles. |
| Local Mapping |
Actual Solution |
The local mapping is the sensor module with microprocessor able to detect and localize all the objects near the robot. Actually it is based on Laser Range Finder for indoor and outdoor. |
| Possible Solution |
We want to use artificial vision tecniques to support range finder devices We want to test the winning tecnologies from DARPA CHALLENGE |
| Communications |
Actual Solution |
WiFi ( full digital to control telemetry, video system and mission payload ) |
| Possible Solution |
We want to add a low frequency , narrow bandwidth (900 MHZ Zigbee) for backup and for security control. |
| Hardware Architecture |
Actual Solution |
PC104 (O.S. Windows) + electronic modules to control actuators. ( Obstacle Avoidance Module with a dedicated microcontroller) |
| Possible Solution |
We want to install an High Level Unit (PC104) and a Low Level Unit ( microcontroller), and a Real Time O.S. |
