2019 – TDP – ATR_Kent – RoboCupRescue – Robot

This paper describes a mobile robot called ”TeleBot- 2” with an immersive, embedded control system. TeleBot-2 is a special design for search and rescue task by Advanced Telerobotics Research (ATR) Laboratory at Kent State University. It is a transformable telepresence humanoid robot. It can switch between the folding tank mode and upright stand operation mode. During the folding tank mode, the robot is able to shrink its size to minimum while maintain basic operation function for lower terrain operation by folding in the top, humanoid half of itself. When it switched to upright stand operation mode, it will release the full function and skill set of humanoid upper body. It also gives it the advantage of operating objects at high places. In this paper, we are not only competing for the RoboCup Rescue League competition, but also proposing a modern approach for every robotics lover to kick start in robotics filed.
