“…The artificial time delay of 500 ms showed to be unproblematic for a driving speed of 30 km/h. However, test drives have shown a reasonable speed compared to other teleoperated road vehicles, such as (Appelqvist et al, 2010). Due to time delays, highly dynamical maneuvers are not possible.…”

The possibility to provision road vehicles unmanned and on demand will have an important influence on the development of new mobility concepts. We therefore present the teleoperated driving of road vehicles. This paper outlines the basic concepts, including a static multi-camera design, an operator interface with a sensor fusion based display, and a cellular network based video transmission and communication architecture. We also show how we manage to fulfill the system's technical requirements with our hard-and software design and point out the occurring problems due to communication limitations and lack of situation awareness. Finally, we propose solutions to guarantee driving safety.

To protect the personnel of the intervention units operating in high-risk areas, it is necessary to introduce (autonomous/semi-autonomous) robotic intervention systems. Previous studies have shown that robotic intervention systems should be as versatile as possible. Here, we focused on the idea of a robotic system composed of two vectors: a carrier vector and an operational vector. The proposed system particularly relates to the carrier vector. A simple analytical model was developed to enable the entire robotic assembly to be autonomous. To validate the analytical-numerical model regarding the kinematics and dynamics of the carrier vector, two of the following applications are presented: intervention for extinguishing a fire and performing measurements for monitoring gamma radiation in a public enclosure. The results show that the chosen carrier vector solution, i.e., the ground vehicle with six-wheel drive, satisfies the requirements related to the mobility of the robotic intervention system. In addition, the conclusions present the elements of the kinematics and dynamics of the robot.
