A man-machine interface for a teleoperated vehicle

Abstract

The design and main characteristics of the user interface of a teleoperated system are described. The man-machine interface was designed in order to integrate, in a single area of interaction (screen, keyboard, and mouse), all the information necessary to allow human control and monitoring, of all the activities of a remotely located vehicle. The man-machine interface works on top of the X11 window system, and uses the Motif toolkit.<>
