A software algorithm for the intelligent mixing of inputs to a tele-operated vehicle

Real-time methods of micro-computer assistance for an operator to steer a vehicle are presented. The vehicle is directed along a path using an analogue joystick connected to a microcomputer interface. Data from the joystick is processed and was combined with information from other sensors. The outpu...

Description
Summary:Real-time methods of micro-computer assistance for an operator to steer a vehicle are presented. The vehicle is directed along a path using an analogue joystick connected to a microcomputer interface. Data from the joystick is processed and was combined with information from other sensors. The output is used to assist the operator in steering the vehicle by tele-operation. The steering data may be stored in the micro-computer and used later to analyse the movements of the vehicle. The paper concentrates on the new algorithms for the intelligent mixing of the inputs in the vehicle micro-controller.
