Abstract
This paper presents the multipurpose service, emergency and rescue tracked mobile robot HARDY. The mechanical construction, technical solution, functions carried out by the robot and examples of potential applications are briefly explained in the beginning. Then follows description of the control system in the mobile robot and the operator's suitcase used for remote control. Presented are also experiences with modern electronic devices for control of hydraulic and electric motors in the robot based on the communication protocol SynqNET.
The next part of the paper deals with the user interface of the operator's application and some of the features that were designed to assist the operator, primarily the anti-collision system. The whole system is then critically evaluated using some experiences from practical use of the robot, even by a common user.
Key words
Multiporpose tracked robot, control system of mobile robot, user interface, emergency.
