Abstract

This paper gives an account of teleoperated mobile robot system which is intended to operate in hostile environments where human access is limited or prohibited. A prototype mobile robot equipped with manipulator was designed and initial tests were made in laboratory environment. Test results, yet preliminary, have been encouraging for further research efforts. Future plans emerging from these initial results are also summarized.
