Abstract: A robotic vehicle (10,100,150A,150B150C,160,1000,1000A,1000B,1000C) includes a chassis (20,106,152,162) having front and rear ends (20A,152A,20B,152B) and supported on right and left driven tracks (34,44,108,165). Right and left elongated flippers (50,60,102,154,164) are disposed on corresponding sides of the chassis and operable to pivot. A linkage (70,156,166) connects a payload deck assembly (D1,D2,D3,80,158,168,806), configured to support a removable functional payload, to the chassis. The linkage has a first end (70A) rotatably connected to the chassis at a first pivot (71), and a second end (70B) rotatably connected to the deck at a second pivot (73). Both of the first and second pivots include independently controllable pivot drivers (72,74) operable to rotatably position their corresponding pivots (71,73) to control both fore-aft position and pitch orientation of the payload deck (D1,D2,D3,80,158,168,806) with respect to the chassis (20,106,152,162).

Abstract translation: 机器人车辆（10,100,150A，150B150C，160,1000,1000A，1000B，1000C）包括具有前端和后端（20A，152A，20B，152B）并支撑在左右驱动轨道（34）上的底盘（20,106,152,162） 44108165）。 右和左细长鳍状物（50,60,102,154,164）设置在底盘的相应侧上并且可操作以枢转。 连杆（70,156,166）将配置成支撑可移动功能有效载荷的有效载荷甲板组件（D1，D2，D3,80,158,168,806）连接到底盘。 连杆具有在第一枢轴（71）处可转动地连接到底架的第一端（70A）和在第二枢轴（73）处可旋转地连接到甲板的第二端（70B）。 第一和第二枢轴都包括可独立控制的枢转驱动器（72,74），其可操作以可旋转地定位其对应的枢轴（71,73），以控制有效载荷甲板（D1，D2，D3，D3）的前后位置和俯仰方向， 80,158,168,806）相对于底盘（20,106,152,162）。

Abstract: A unified framework is provided for building common functionality into diverse operator control units. A set of tools is provided for creating controller configurations for varied robot types. Preferred controllers do one or more the following: allow uploading of configuration files from a target robot, adhere to common user interface styles and standards, share common functionality, allow extendibility for unique functionality, provide flexibility for rapid prototype design, and allow dynamic communication protocol switching. Configuration files may be uploaded from robots to configure their operator control units. The files may include scene graph control definitions; instrument graphics; control protocols; or mappings of control functions to scene graphics or control inputs.

Abstract translation: 提供了一个统一的框架，用于为不同的操作员控制单元建立通用功能 提供了一套工具来为各种机器人类型创建控制器配置。 首选控制器执行以下一项或多项操作：允许从目标机器人上传配置文件，遵守常用用户界面样式和标准，共享通用功能，允许扩展性以实现独特功能，为快速原型设计提供灵活性，并允许动态通信协议 交换。 可以从机器人上传配置文件以配置其操作员控制单元。 这些文件可以包括场景图控制定义; 仪器图形; 控制协议; 或控制功能到场景图形或控制输入的映射。
