Remote-controlled robot vehicle for reconnaissance and marking purposes has manipulator arm with grab and camera, operated by head and finger movements of operator

摘要

The robot vehicle is remote-controlled by an operator. It has a manipulator joint arm, which follows the hand movements of the operator. An actuator, pref. a tongue-like grab is mounted on the free arm end. The arm has motor-actuated control and this reacts to actuation of the lines of electric flux of a field source of a field sensor positioned by the hand of the operator. The grab moves dependent upon the spreading movement of two fingers of the operator. The grab arm also has mounted to it a light, and a camera, which moves dependent upon the head movements of the operator.
