Remote Vision Systems for Teleoperated Ground Vehicles

摘要

A high speed, teleoperated unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) was recentlydemonstrated in United States Marine Corps operational exercises at Camp Pendleton, California. Advanced features of the human-machine interface components used in the remote vision systems are credited with allowing both novice and experienced operators to effectively perform UGV tasks. The UGV was remotely guided across terrain ranging from smooth asphalt to severe undeveloped land at velocities up to 60 kilometers per hour. Reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition tasks were remotely completed using UGV remote vision systems. Off-road exercises were conducted to gain an understanding of how UGV system operation is affected by variations in visual display system features. Observations on the utility of features such as stereoscopic vision, color imagery, headmounted displays, and head-coupled aiming of sensors are discussed. Recommendations are provided for the design of future UGV remote vision systems.
