Development and Implementation of Remote Control System for An Unmanned Heavy Tracked Vehicle

A remote control system for a unmanned heavy tracked vehicle was developed. Autonomous driving system is accomplished by rebuilding of the original turning accessories. A friendly human-machine interactive interface was designed to control the vehicle easily. In order to follow desired path, a control strategy was proposed, in which the local autonomous and remote control modes are combined together. A teaching playback method based on preview heading involving with the location modification made by remote operator was presented to reduce the path deviation. Experiments show that this system is able to perform the outdoor task with the proposed control strategy.
