At the research facility of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, measurements were taken of the operating parameters of a manipulator designed for a remotely operated engineering support robot. The values of the most significant parameters from the perspective of executing tasks in EOD/IOD missions were determined. The measurements were conducted under laboratory and field conditions. The obtained results confirmed the validity of the design assumptions and the operational capabilities of the engineering support robot.One of the dominant trends in the development of armament and military equipment is robotization – the introduction of unmanned systems capable of performing various operational tasks without direct human involvement. In the case of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), their primary task is to increase the distance between the soldier and the threat, aiming to minimize human casualties.
To this end, however, it is necessary to equip the UGV with a manipulator featuring an appropriate kinematic structure combined with an intuitive control and teleoperation system. (…)
