Eurobot Monitoring & Control Station (original) (raw)

Abstract

EADS Astrium has developed the Eurobot Control Station ECoS in the frame of the Eurobot WET Model project (Weightless Environmental Test) released by the European Space Agency in 2003. ECoS is the main user interface to the robot for generating, validating and executing mission timelines as well as for controlling manually movable subsystems such as the arms, the pan-tilt camera unit and the video system. It is integral to the safety and robustness of Eurobot operations. ECoS has been used to remotely operate the underwater Eurobot WET Model on a mock-up at EAC, Cologne (D) and at the ALTEC facility, Turin (I). The mock-up was representative of a typical space operational environment for Eurobot. Operational functionality of ECoS consists of system status telemetry (TM) monitoring and the remote manual commanding of the Eurobot hardware (TC) for complex operations beyond routine activities. The remote operator can obtain situational awareness of the worksite environment by viewing s...
