Advances and Experience with Teleoperated Systems Incorporating Remote Presence

Abstract

This paper discusses progress at the Hawaii Laboratory over the past three years in the development of three teleoperated systems: the Advanced Tethered Vehicle (ATV), the TeleOperated Vehicle (TOV) and the TeleOperated/ telePresence System (TOPS). We will comment on experience to data with these systems, pointing to the need for additional sensory information by the remote system operator to achieve increased performance. Each of these systems addresses a different mission, but all share common approaches to subsystem design and to various degrees incorporate remote presence. ATV and TOV utilize a fiber optic data link for high band width, small size, ruggedness, and in the case of the TOV, jam resistance and covertness.
