PTZ Surveillance Camera
The on-board camera is for security surveillance use. The robot does not use it for navigation or
object recognition.
4 Dimensional Audio
The VIBOT has an on-board microphone and speaker system. It can be used to interact with
people remotely as an intercom. In addition, text can be converted to synthesized speech which
allows the RoboSentry to interact with humans without operator intervention. Finally, the ability
to play on-board .WAV files enables sirens and prerecorded messages to be annunciated.
ADA Compliant Indoor Use
The RoboSentry is designed to operate in an environment compliant with ADA (Americans with
Disabilities Act) Guidelines.
iChat AV
Full audio, video, and text tele-conferencing using Apple's iChat AV. You control the robot's
movements as well as interact with users remotely over the internet. Perfect for teleconferencing,
telecommuting, telepresence applications.
SonarNL
Sonar Navigation and Localization is a low cost solution to autonomous mobile robot behavior.
Not as precise as Laser-based navigation, it is adequate for many applications.
Laser Mapping and Localization
The VIBOT uses the same method of navigation and localization as do humans and other mobile
life-forms. We all know what navigation is but the localization problem has been a tough nut to
crack for robot researchers over the past 30 years. "Where am I?" is a question we humans can
usually answer quickly with a little bit of information and contextual processing. Robots and
computers on the other hand, while good at repetative tasks, are terrible at object recognition and
contextual processing. Given an apple, a book, and a wrench, a computer will have a tough time
distinguishing one object from another in a random setting. But like its biological counterparts,
the VIBOT does create a "world map" in its mind. It quickly scans and learns where static
objects are, like walls and doorways, and creates a map of the environment from the robot's point
of view.
While it can avoid bouncing off the wall or running into a person, a human must decide for the
robot what areas of the map are important to avoid and to set its boundaries and goals. The
VIBOT's main task is to autonomously navigate to a goal once the command is given. The
command can be manually issued (go to the last room on the left) or automatically generated
(time to recharge, go back to the dock) or given by a linked system (fire detected at location B12,
go investigate).
Integration
SUPREX® Technology pioneered by Cypress and refined over the last 20 years, enables mobile
robot platforms such as the VIBOT to be easily integrated into any security, access control, or
building management system. For example, an alarm generated by the fire system can command
the VIBOT to investigate. In doing so, the robot needs to call the elevator through the building
management infrastructure to get to the 3rd floor. Upon arriving at the destination, it sends video,
audio, and sensory information back to the operator. Onboard flame and smoke detectors register
positive results, i.e., this is not a false alarm. Upon command (or automatically), the VIBOT
releases the CO2 supressant and audibly alerts evacuation tones or phrases. It also provides a
beacon for fire-fighters to locate the fire. After a hard day of fire fighting and heading back to its
recharging station, the VIBOT encounters a moving object in a previously defined "restricted"
zone. It approaches the person and audibly asks for ID. The person must present his credentials
to a card reader mounted on the robot, then the Wiegand (or any other format) data is sent to the
access control system. An access granted signal is sent to the robot, it politely excuses itself and
proceeds to the original goal. Otherwise, it sends an intrusion signal to the security system and
sounds a local annunciator.
Communication
Command, control, and monitoring of the VIBOT is done via 802.11g wireless ethernet. It can
co-exist on a building LAN or be given its own dedicated channels. Other than video, the
bandwidth needed for normal operation is negligable. The robot only needs to receive override
commands and report status over the wireless link. Depending on the camera system used,
bandwidth can be an issue on a non-dedicated LAN but so is the case with any stationary camera
system.
Vision
The autonomous platform isn't aware that it has a camera; it isn't used for navigation but rather
for the "verification" or "reconnaissance" function. The human operator can monitor the VIBOT
in real time with 802.11g link to the camera. PTZ or 360° lenses with anti-warping software
provide remote surveillance. Any camera system can be used to integrate to existing security
monitors.
From military to civilian
Robots tend to fall into two categories — remote controlled and autonomous. One becomes an
extension of a human controller while the other functions on its own, following a programmed
set of tasks. The rapidly expanding military market favors the remote-controlled robot, where it
becomes an extension of a soldier — who can direct the robot to disarm a roadside bomb in Iraq,
for example.
Government and military venues have been the testing ground for robot technology. In many
instances, advances in software and hardware achieved in government labs or on the battlefield
have meant better solutions for the private sector.
Perhaps the greatest advantage of the roving platform is that it enables users to move other
sensors such as motion detectors. Instead of mounting the devices in permanent, fixed locations,
the patrolling unit can literally move the devices to spots where they are needed, thus allowing
resources to be shifted to where they are needed most.
Robots on the battlefield
While the public may not see them in action very often, some of the greatest advances in robot
technology have been driven by the needs of the military in the war on terror. Robots have joined
the arsenal of the soldier on the battlefield and have literally changed the way the soldier fights.
“Robotics represents a disruptive technology,” asserts former Rear Admiral Joe Dryer, executive
vice president and general manager of iRobot's Government and Industrial Robots Division. “By
disruptive technology, I mean one that changes significantly and relatively quickly the way
business used to be done, relative to how it will be done in the future.”
In the early days of the war in Afghanistan, American forces chased the Taliban into wild
mountainous regions that offered vast networks of caves in which the enemy could hide. The
U.S. Army's method of performing reconnaissance into these areas had changed little since
World War I. It still consisted of a soldier with a rope tied around his waist and clutching a 12-
foot long stick in his hands, feeling his way into the unknown.
With the introduction of the iRobot PackBot into the war zone, tactics shifted from the soldier
facing the dangerous job of personally searching for the enemy to a machine carrying out the
task. With the controller guiding the robot through the twists and turns of a cavern while seeing
everything it encounters, the area could be quickly cleared without risk to anyone other than the
enemy.
A new payload on the PackBot called “Red Owl” was developed to provide sniper protection
through acoustic directional finding. Developed by researchers at Boston University working in
conjunction with Insight Technologies, the new sensor enables sentries to hear an approaching
enemy long before they are able to get into position.
More than 200 of the PackBots are also in Iraq, where they are helping to defuse deadly roadside
bombs that have claimed thousands of lives.
Working in rugged terrain sometimes resulted in robots losing communication. Previously, the
operator had to go find it and re-establish communication — defeating the purpose of sending
the platform out to begin with. New technology now in development at iRobot will program the
machine to back up and return to the last location where it had a strong link to its controller.
Other advances will program robots to get themselves upright if they turn over, and allow them
to maintain course and speed without monitoring.
These security applications are slowly making their way into the civilian sector, where local
police and fire have need for robots that can enter buildings where criminals may be hiding or
areas where a chemical spill might have occurred. While military robots are controlled
wirelessly over secure frequencies, law enforcement agencies can be skeptical of similar
wireless applications that could be hacked.
