Abstract

The paper concerns about approaches and algorithms used for high-level control of robot called RUDA. The RUDA robot was designed for operations in hard and dangerous environments including damaged buildings, areas polluted with chemicals and also rough outdoor terrain. The robot compounds of base platform - hull with tracks and set of additional modules.

The paper compounds of two parts. In the first part the RUDA robot is introduced and internal structure of the robot is described including algorithms for localization in indoor and outdoor environments. The second part describes novel approach of interaction with human operator using wearable devices. In both parts the special emphasis is placed on ongoing research and most recent results.
