Abstract

For firefighters and rescuers, the disaster relief works are difficulty performed in the tunnels because of their constricted space. To reduce the losses of accident, the safety of tunnels and factories should be ordinarily kept under surveillance. Hence, a multisensor based smart tracked vehicle is designed for the application of autonomous detection and surveillance in this paper. Besides, multisensors, communication modules, wireless cameras, an electronic compass, and a GPS module are installed in the vehicle. The key feature is the integration of disaster detection and warning systems so that the vehicle can move autonomously. Furthermore, a LabVIEW graphical programming software is applied to design a human machine interface (HMI) and integrate all systems such that the vehicle can be guided by High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSHPA) based remote control. Moreover, basic stamp microcontrollers are utilized as its control kernel such that the remote monitoring and control system (RMCS) can be constructed successfully.

Summary

Introduction

Since 1970, the applications of robots are increasingly diversified. The applications contain the industrial, military, aerospace, and medical and other purposes. In order to achieve the intelligent robot positioning function, some scholars [3, 4] proposed different control laws to deal with the path planning and the autonomous navigation. Many researchers presented the integration of multisensors to reduce uncertainty in autonomous mobile robots [5,6,7]. Multismart vehicles, which integrated disaster detection, warning system, and autonomous cruise, are rarely explored. A multisensor based smart tracked vehicle is designed for the application of autonomous detection and surveillance. The key feature is the integration of disaster detection and warning systems such that the vehicle can move autonomously. In order to guide the vehicle by HSHPA based remote control, the authors design an HMI and integrate all systems using a LabVIEW graphical programming software. Basic stamp microcontrollers are utilized as its control kernel such that the RMCS can be constructed successfully
