A wearable GUI for field robots

• In most search and rescue or reconnaissance missions involving field robots the requirements of the operator being mobile and alert to sudden changes in the near environment, are just as important as the ability to control the robot proficiently. This implies that the GUI platform should be light-weight and portable, and that the GUI itself is carefully designed for the task at hand. In this paper different platform solutions and design of a user-friendly GUI for a packbot will be discussed. Our current wearable system will be presented along with some results from initial field tests in urban search and rescue facilities.
