The All-Purpose Remote Transport System (ARTS) is a robotics system for remote-controlled vehicles in high-risk environments. An operator-control unit (OCU) is used to control the engine, propulsion, lights, and tools of an unmanned utility tractor. The tractor communicates audio and video back to the OCU and its operator. ARTS systems have been deployed for hazardous material handling, fire fighting, natural-disaster clean-up, and mine clearing in Afghanistan.

The LynxOS® real-time operating system runs the ARTS operator-control unit (OCU), which is packaged in a weather-tight, shock-isolated enclosure. The OCU is comprised of a radio for transmitting command signals to the tractor, a receiver for audio/video signals transmitted from the tractor, a joystick control box, and a television monitor with built-in videocassette recorder. |
