Project 5a: Remote Communication

In order to perform research on the vehicles while they are in operating condition, a feedback system would be required to display, interpret and correct incoming information in real-time.  The system should:

·         Format, encode, transmit and decode commands and system information;

·         Have priority communication for Kill and Navigation commands.

Goals:

·         Assess present-world solutions for Remotely-Operated Vehicle and Telemetry technology;

·         Design a remote interface capable of displaying real-time information;

·         Demonstrate Emergency and Priority commands.
