Development of a prototype remote controlled multifunctional mobile robot for applications in hazardous environments

Bogdan George Bucur, Mihaela Oprea

Abstract


The paper presents a prototype remote controlled multifunctional mobile robot, PROMM that was designed to be used for tasks executed in hazardous environments, such as air pollution monitoring and object manipulation tasks. The robot has a manipulator arm with gripper and can be remotely controlled via joystick or through haptic devices. Some laboratory experiments and potential applications are described.
