Remote Manipulation Systems: Quality Evaluation and Improvement

Product Description
This book focuses on the issues of remote control of manipulators in a free workspace. Relatively new data on remote control for telerobots are presented. The primary emphasis is: + a systematic presentation of the materials using a comparatively few, not well-publicized, examples as illustrations; + a systematic presentation of materials on the quantitative evaluation of quality of remote manipulation systems with practical implementation using test stands; + a presentation of the author’s own descriptions of remote control systems; essentially, the adaptive coordinate-parameter control method for telerobots. The data and ideas described in this book can be useful in the remote control field, but also in the adjacent fields of robotics and automation. To that end, the book has been designed both to be informative in its field and as source material for researchers and engineers working in these fields and also graduate and undergraduate students with a corresponding specialization.

Operational Evaluation of the Electro-Optic Tactical Decision Aid, Version 3.1

Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A656523. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The Electro-Optical Tactical Decision Aid (EOTDA) is a tool weather forecasters use to predict target detection ranges and the performance of various electro-optic precision-guided weapon systems. The user inputs environmental and tactical information, such as the expected atmospheric conditions and target and background descriptions. The primary EOTDA output are target detection ranges and thermal contrast information. The EOTDA supports three types of weapon systems: infrared (8-12 microns), visible (0.4-0.9 microns), and laser (1.06 microns). This study is an evaluation of the EOTDA performance of an infrared (IR) weapons system used during a training exercise at Naval Air Station (NAS) Fallon, Nevada in January 1996. In addition, a sensitivity study of the EOTDA parameters was completed. The results showed that the EOTDA predicted ranges within 20% of the observed detection ranges when correct environmental information was available. The most critical parameters required for the EOTDA were moisture, aerosol selection, the target area forecast, and composition of the target and background. Recognizing the strengths and weakness of the EOTDA will help operational users improve electro- optic forecasts and help guide future research and development efforts.
