ARGOS: Orpheus-X2 user interface

Orpheus reconnaissance robotic system Orpheus-X2 developed at Department of Control and Instrumentation is described. The paper is focused to ARGOS visualization software system for sensory supported visual telepresence control of mobile robots. The article describes augmented reality part of the system - namely visual telepresence, 2D and 3D proximity scanner data and inertial sensor data presentation. The concept of real video in background of operator's view with a series of Virtual Head-up Displays is presented. Advantages of ARGOS for real-time data fusion of CCD color camera, thremovision and 3D proximity scanner are depicted.
