ObjectivesObjectives

• 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.

ScenarioScenario

• 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?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/DecemberNovember/December – distribute Netrol software to UH, TITech and Tohoku.

• December/JanuaryDecember/January – Mike Rasay will attempt teleoperation with SCU rover.

• February/March/AprilFebruary/March/April – Attempt test(s) with other participating schools.

• May – till next time May – till next time – Tohoku builds “rescue me.” TITech builds ? UH designs?
