Manipulator Autonomy for EOD Robots
Abstract
This paper presents research that enhances the effectiveness of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) robots with autonomy and 3D visualization. It describes an approach where autonomous behaviors like Click and Go, Drag for Wire, and Click and Grasp are rapidly formed by combining foundational technologies like Resolved Motion, Inverse Kinematics, and 3D Visualization. Also presented is a flexible, JAUS-based architecture that supports new autonomous behaviors and future work that applies these manipulation advancements to mobility and navigation.
