Fault-Tolerant Teleoperation Systems Design. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 264
While the robots gradually become a part of our
daily lives, they already play vital roles in many
critical operations. Some of these critical tasks
include surgeries, battlefield operations, and tasks
that take place in hazardous environments or distant
locations such as space missions. In most of these
tasks, remotely controlled robots are used instead
of autonomous robots. This area of robotics is
called teleoperation. Teleoperation systems must be
reliable when used in critical tasks even under a
subsystem or communication line failure.
Teleoperation controllers are presented to
compensate for instabilities due to communication
line failures. Fault-tolerant design and modeling of
the master and slave systems are also addressed at
different levels to prevent subsystem failure.
Virtual Rapid Robot Prototyping, is introduced to
create system models rapidly and accurately.
Teleoperation systems configured in this book are
then tested both in numerical simulations and
experiments. Overall, by employing the fault-
tolerance features and the proposed controllers,
teleoperation designers can configure more reliable
systems for a wider range of critical missions.
