Rover Teleoperation(we hope it doesnt break!)

• TITech
• Tohoku University
• University of Hawaii
• Santa Clara University

2
Objectives

• Work towards defining control protocol.
• -Understand the design and operation of
  different rovers.
• -Design includes mechanical and software issues.
• Build a rover for disaster rescues!!!!!
• -This rover will help in creating a better
  understanding of rover design.

3
Scenario

• Operate Tohoku rover from TITech/UH/SCU.
• Operate SCU rover/blimp/ROV from
  Tohoku/TITech/UH.
• Please keep your fingers crossed!!!
• We want this to happen!!!

How does this help us?

• Our research with simple human-in-the-loop
  control will help us determine what kinds of
  subsystems to create for our rovers.
• -i.e. creating hazard detection and avoidance.
• We hope that our scenarios will help us with our
  design rather than help us break one or our
  rovers.

Timeline

• November/December distribute Netrol software to
  UH, TITech and Tohoku.
• December/January Mike Rasay will attempt
  teleoperation with SCU rover.
• February/March/April Attempt test(s) with other
  participating schools.
• May till next time Tohoku builds rescue me.
  TITech builds ? UH designs?
