Abstract

An application for teleoperated fire fighting shall be equipped with a sensor system which offers the operator the required data of the robot’s environment so that he is able to guide and control it safely. The environmental perception is based on a sensor for two-dimensional pictures and a sensor for the measurement of the one-dimensional depth. In several live tests a number of sensors were investigated and their data were analysed. Suitable sensors were chosen according to the criteria evaluating the overall quality of sensor data acquisition and integrated in a sensor system for the robot.
