Abstract
In this paper, a mobile robot system, which consists of a moving base and a built-in weapon platform, was developed. The base is controlled manually using a wireless joystick in which the remote hand weapon manipulates the built-in weapon platform. A stereo vision camera is mounted on the front plane of the built-in weapon platform. Real-time video of the battle zone is recorded by the stereo camera module and is simultaneously monitored on virtual reality glasses. The glasses are worn by the person who will control the built-in weapon. The remote hand weapon is also held by the same person, and the real-time motion directories of the hand weapon are transmitted to the main platform via user datagram protocol. The built-in weapon is fired when the remote user triggers the hand weapon. The weapon platform is locked to the target, regardless of the moving base of the mobile robot.
