    摘要: A hierarchical modular arbitration architecture for a mobile platform guidance system is disclosed. In embodiments, the architecture comprises a hierarchy of arbitration layers, each arbitration layer narrower in scope than the layer above (e.g., mission objective arbitrators, route arbitrators, path arbitrators). Each arbitration layer includes one or more objective-based arbitrators in communication with one or more applications or modes. Each arbitrator receives control input (e.g., from the pilot, from aircraft sensors) and control signals from the level above, selecting a mode to make active based on decision agents within the arbitrator layer which control mode priorities and sequencing (e.g., some flight objectives may involve multiple arbitrators and their subject applications coordinating in sequence). Each arbitrator passes control signals associated with fulfilling the commands of the active mode to the level below and reports application and error information to the arbitrator level above and/or human/artificial pilot machine interfaces.

    摘要: A remote-controlled demolition robot includes a control unit, an undercarriage with propulsion means, an upper carriage with a maneuverable arm means and a remote control unit having a first and second control lever and an operating mode control switch to switch between alternative operating modes, the remote control unit to give commands via the operating mode control switch to control the robot in alternative operating modes by the control levers. The operating mode selector switch can form a primary operating mode control switch and one control lever can have a secondary operating mode control switch accessible for activation without releasing a grip on the control lever and, when activated, momentarily switches the control unit from the operating mode dedicated by the primary operating mode selector switch to an alternative momentary operating mode, the switching being active as long as the secondary operating mode control switch is activated.

    摘要: A control system is configured to execute system control of controlling a system including a mobile robot that is configured to autonomously move and on which a user operation is executed. The system includes a light emission unit. The control system includes one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute the system control. The system control includes light emission control of causing the light emission unit to emit light in different light emission patterns associated with each of a plurality of predetermined conditions. At least one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is a recommendation condition that is a predetermined condition for recommending a user operation on the mobile robot or a non-recommendation condition that is a predetermined condition for not recommending a user operation on the mobile robot.

    摘要: A control system according to the present disclosure performs system control for controlling a system including a mobile robot that is autonomously movable and operable by a user. The mobile robot includes at least one light-emitting unit. The system control includes mode switch control of switching between an autonomous movement mode and a user operation mode, and the light emission control of controlling the light-emitting unit to emit light in different light emission patterns associated with a plurality of predetermined conditions. The light emission control includes controlling the light-emitting unit to emit light in different light emission patterns, for at least one of the predetermined conditions, depending on whether the mobile robot is in the autonomous movement mode or the user operation mode.
