CONT

Within EROC [expedient route opening capability], the role of the Buffalo is to uncover mines and IEDs [improvised explosive devices](disarming or detonating them if possible). Key to the role is the Buffalo's distinctive manipulator arm, an extensible crane tipped with a tined claw dubbed 'spork. ’The manipulator arm and 'spork’ are remotely-controlled from the relative safety of the armour cab – a camera and light are mounted on the arm giving the operator a close-up view on his monitor of any suspected IED.

CONT

Le véhicule Buffalo s’arrête sur le bord de la route près d’un amoncellement de débris qui a déjà été désigné à titre d’endroit suspect par le véhicule Husky qui roule à basse vitesse. L’équipage du Buffalo allonge et rétracte le bras manipulateur pendant qu’il examine l’amoncellement afin de déterminer s’il contient des éléments menaçants.

CONT

An autonomous robotic refuelling system is being developed to achieve rapid aircraft turnaround, notably during combat operations. The proposed system includes a gantry positioner with sufficient reach to position a robotic arm that performs the refuelling tasks; a six degree of freedom manipulator equipped with a remote center of compliance, torque sensor, and a gripper that can handle standard tools; a computer vision system to locate and guide the refuelling nozzle, inspect the nozzle, and avoid collisions; and an operator interface with video and graphics display.

Record 5 2001-02-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
  • Remote Control (Telecommunications)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A device having sensors and actuators for mobility and/or manipulation, remotely controlled by a human operator. A teleoperator allows an operator, to extend his sensory-motor functions to remote or hazardous environments. (ISO I)

DEF

telechir: A handlike remote manipulator.

CONT

A telecheric or teleoperator is a device that translates motions by an operator into similar motions in a remote location. The operator views the remote manipulator through leaded glass or a closed circuit television systems for visual feedback.

OBS

In the US, teleoperator refers to human-robot interfaces. In Japan, they call it "tele-existence". In either case, the foundation of the technology is the human experience of seeing out of the eyes of a machine, and using natural gestures to direct machines to manipulate the physical world.

OBS

telecheric; teleoperator: terms standardized by CSA.

Généralisation du télémanipulateur en ce sens qu'il correspond à la transmission de l'ensemble des facultés de l'opération. (QUE p. 101)

CONT

Ce téléopérateur conçu par l'I.I.T. Research Institute sert à la production d'explosifs au Picatinny Arsenal. Le travail du robot est exécuté sous la surveillance d'une caméra de télévision placée sur le bras du manipulateur. (NOVO Sept. 78 p. 253)

OBS

Comparer à «téléopérateur robotisé».

OBS

téléopérateur : terme normalisé par la CSA.

Record 6 1999-01-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
DEF

A technique for programming robot motion, usually following a continuous path motion, but sometimes referring also to teaching point-to-point motions by using a teach box. For continuous path motions, the operator grasps a handle which is secured to the arm and guides the robot through the desired task or motions while the robot controller records movement information and any activation signals for external equipment. This contrasts with off-line programming, which can be accomplished away from the manipulator.
