Raybot: A practical implementation of a hierarchical control system for telerobotic land vehicles
A hierarchical control architecture for telerobotic vehicles intended to yield a modular, flexible, and easily expanded control system is presented. This architecture is proposed for applications where simple teleoperation is required but where additional capabilities might be quickly added without major changes to the control system. Similarities to the NASREM architecture are noted. Results are given from hardware implementation of the control system on a telerobotic vehicle, Raybot, at Sandia National Laboratories.
