A Multi-purpose Mobile Robotic Platform with Measurement of Thermal Indicators of Objects and Remote Control

Abstract

Here, we present research results on developing a compact multifunctional mobile robotic platform based on tracks. Nowadays, choosing the optimal control system for such equipment remains relevant. We have proposed a system that allows measuring thermal indicators of objects or other environmental parameters in hazardous areas and can be controlled remotely via video channels and a specially developed free-programmable console. We also suggest using a steerable two-axis camera gimbal on a moving platform to implement enhanced VR/AR/FPV technology for efficient robot control. It provides a new quality of operator immersion in control compared to common land-based mobile platforms. With this in mind, we have presented the main points related to the set of components and algorithms of the control system, which is installed directly on the moving platform, and the control system that ensures the operation of the operator panel.
