Abstract

Robotic Research, LLC proposes Safe Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles for Installations (SAUVI) as a comprehensive surveillance tool suite that will be used for real-time persistent surveillance needs, historical analysis of the site, and post incident discovery and tracking tool. This proposal is designed to leverage Robotic Research, LLC"s (RR) intimate knowledge of robotic systems and to exploit robotic functionality that is readily available to the system. The proposed system will combine sensor data from fixed and moving sources to develop a distributed world model of pedestrians and vehicles in the operational areas of the robots. The architecture uses programmable triggers that modulate robot behavior and determine when to contact a safety operator. As the system proves its reliability or new plug and play detection modules become available, more autonomous operations will be achieved. Initially designed for fleet safety and optimization, the system will easily transition to site security and other missions in later phases.
