Abstract: A shock absorbing disruptor mounting system for a robotic arm includes a rack comprised of a linear guide structure and a carriage which is configured to travel on the linear guide structure. The carriage is selectively movable between a retracted position and an extended position and includes a plurality of wheels along its length. Each of the wheels has a wheel axis of rotation which is transverse to the direction of the linear guide structure centerline to facilitate rotation of the wheels on at least a portion of the linear guide structure responsive to the travel.

Abstract: A ground vehicle suspension system includes first and second rocker-bogie mechanisms which are respectively secured to a chassis on opposing sides of a central axis. Each rocker-bogie mechanism includes a main link on which a first and second bogie is respectively pivotally mounted. The first and second bogie each has opposing inner and outer bogie end portions. On each bogie, an inner wheel is disposed on an inner stub axle and an outer wheel is disposed on an outer stub axle. A continuous track is guided on the inner and outer wheels of the first bogie and second bogie. A resilient member extends between the first and second bogie and is attached at one end to the inner bogie end portion of the first bogie and at an opposing end to the inner bogie end portion of the second bogie.

Abstract: A system for automatically controlling a gimbaled camera system of a vehicle. The system includes a camera positioned relative to a body of the vehicle and one or more sensors configured to sense the pointing direction of the camera. One or more sensors are configured to monitor movement of the vehicle relative to a surface. A processor is configured to receive the sensed camera pointing direction data and vehicle movement data. The processor establishes and stores a target position representative of the position of a target object relative to the vehicle body based on an object independent association and automatically adjusts the camera pointing direction in response to the vehicle movement data such that the camera remains aimed on the target position. A method for automatically controlling the gimbaled camera system is also provided.

Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (800) for visually rendering a multi-dimensional model of a portion of a system (100) having mechanical joints (228-238). The methods comprise: determining a first current physical joint configuration of a first mechanical joint and a second current physical joint configuration of a second mechanical joint; determining at least one first viewing direction (d234) along a rotational axis or perpendicular to a linear extension axis (a234) of the first mechanical joint (234) having the first current physical joint configuration and at least one second viewing direction (d236) along a rotational axis or perpendicular to a linear extension axis (a236) of the second mechanical joint (236) having the second current physical joint configuration; computing an avatar view perspective direction (σ234-236) based on the first and second viewing directions; and dynamically adjusting a perspective view of a visually rendered multi-dimensional model of the system using the avatar view perspective direction.

Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (700) for increasing a predictability of Telematic Operations (“TOs”) of a Teleoperation System (“TS”). The methods involve: measuring an inherent latency of a Communications Link (“CL”) of TS which varies unpredictably over at least a first window of time; analyzing the inherent latency, which was previously measured, to determine a first reference value useful for increasing the predictability of the TOs; using the first reference value to select an amount of controlled latency to be added to CL (120) at each of a plurality of time points (502-518); and adding the amount of controlled latency to CL at each of the plurality of time points so as to increase the predictability of the TOs. In some scenarios, the amount of controlled latency added at a first time point is different than the amount of controlled latency added at a second time point.

Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (1400) for operating a Spool Mechanism (“SM”). The methods comprise: transitioning an operational mode of SM from a first operational mode in which a drag torque is not settable to a second operational mode in which the drag torque is settable; selectively mechanically coupling a rewind motor to a spool (612) of SM by engaging a coupler (1014) in response to the SM's transition into the second operational mode; activating the rewind motor (610) such that the rewind motor applies a motor torque having a pre-defined value selected for facilitating a setting of the drag torque to an optimal value; mechanically gradually adjusting an amount of drag resistance applied to the spool by a drag mechanism (1012); and discontinuing the mechanical adjustment of the drag resistance when the spool's speed is within a threshold percentage range of a zero resistance speed.

A control system has access to a plurality of different end effector appliance parameter sets which are respectively associated with the plurality of different end effector appliances. A user interface facilitates identification to the control system of one or more of the different end effector appliances which are installed on the manipulator arm. The control system is responsive to the identification to modify a control algorithm.

Abstract: An unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) includes a mast attached to a UGV body at a base end. The mast extends a predetermined distance to a mast head which can include a mast-head device. A flipper assembly includes at least one flipper arm which is rotatably mounted to the UGV body to help facilitate UGV stability and/or mobility. A flipper actuator causes the flipper arm to rotate about a flipper rotation axis. Movement of the mast between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration is selectively controlled by operation of the flipper assembly.
