Abstract-The paper presents the modes of operation of Telerescuer robot controlled by an innovative human-machine interface. The robot is designed to perform inspections during the rescue actions in subterranean areas of the coal mines affected by catastrophic events. In order to make navigation of the robot as simple as possible, the immersive human-machine interface has been developed, whose purpose is not only to navigate, but also to supervise semi-autonomous mission of the robot. In addition, the paper presents experiments with triangulation of the point clouds resulting from the 3D scanner installed on the robot as well as architecture of other main components of the whole Telerescuer system, developed in collaboration of academic and industrial partners from Poland, Czech Republic and Spain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
