Orpheus mobile robot is a teleoperated device primarily designed for remote exploration of hazardous places and rescue missions. The robot is able to operate both indoors and outdoors, is made to be durable and reliable. Orpheus robot contains multitude of sensors including cameras, 3D proximity scanners, thermometer, etc. The device is controlled through advanced user interface using ARGOS software with joystick and head mounted display with inertial head movement sensor. Since the control of the remote robot as well as the sensory data-flow is done in real-time, the communication subsystem forms vital part of the system. The communication is accomplished with Ethernet and both - wire or wireless connection may be used.
