  • Tactical robot controller
    Patent number: 9400498
    Abstract: An unmanned systems operator control system includes a hand held controller with a set of switches and control enumeration software specially configured to report a superset of virtual switches based on the physical switches. A core unit includes a first unmanned system control application subscribing to a first switch subset of the superset and outputting commands controlling a first unmanned system based on activation of the set of switches. A second unmanned system control application subscribes to a second switch subset of the superset and outputs commands controlling a second unmanned system based on activation of the set of switches. A mode switching subsystem is configured, in a first state, to map the set of switches to the first switch subset and, in a second state, to map the set of switches to the second switch subset.

  • Battery tray
    Patent number: 9048482
    Abstract: A battery tray includes a bottom plate and opposing end walls extending upward from the bottom plate. Each end wall includes a plurality of inward spaced battery connectors. A retainer is releasably secured to the bottom plate and is configured to retain batteries disposed on the bottom plate and abutting the end walls. At least one printed circuit board in an end wall includes circuitry connecting the battery connectors to the electrical output.
