Abstract
Robots and industrial vehicles are becoming more and more autonomous.
Currently, the robots are not able to carry out all tasks autonomously,
but the number of those tasks is increasing. Semi- autonomous robots are changing
the requirements of control stations for their surveillance and control. These
new technologies will provide the possibility to have a single operator command
and supervise multiple (semi-) autonomous systems. This requires new control
stations, which support remote control and also commanding autonomous actions,
like executing a movement command to a specific position. Here, we provide a
concept that combines classic and future control stations, that can already be
used with the current state of the art in robotics.
