REMOTELY CONTROLLED ROBOT SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED HEADING DETERMINATION PERFORMANCE AND REMOTE CONTROLLER IN THE SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE: A remote-controlled robot system with enhanced steering determination performance and a remote controller used for the same are provided to allow an operator to recognize a wider range of front situation by displaying situation recognition information which is formed by overlapping image information and distance information. CONSTITUTION: A remote-controlled robot system(10) comprises a remote-controlled robot(20) and a remote controller(30). The remote-controlled robot comprises a first communication module(200), a camera(220), a distance sensor unit(230), and a robot control unit(210). The distance sensor unit scans obstacles and spaces to detect information on distances to surrounding obstacles. The robot control unit transmits image information input through the camera and distance information input through the distance sensor unit to the remote controller through the first communication module. The remote controller comprises a second communication module(300), an remote control interface unit(330), and an operation control unit(310). The remote controller and the remote-controlled robot communicate with each other through the first and the second communication modules. The remote control interface unit offers steering information and velocity information about the remote-controlled robot. The operation control unit creates situation recognition information from the image information and the distance information, outputs the situation recognition information on the screen of a display unit, and transmits the steering information and velocity information to the remote-controlled robot.
