Features:
- The RTMIX multi-robot interface allows the user to control a team of up to four robots.
- The interface is best viewed with a 1024x768 resolution.
- Platform related controls are located on the left while visual related ones are located on the right.
- Before operation the user has to make sure all IP addresses and ports are correctly set.
- Selected robots can be controlled using the virtual joystick, a joystick or a wiimote, selecting more
than one robot at a time will have as a result having all of them receiving the same command.
- Cameras can be selected individually or blended in one image with RTMIX. Preset mixing layouts can
be selected and new ones added thanks to the “video source configuration” webpage.
- Certain functionalities need a reference which can be selected with a menu located just under the Mesh
and Map buttons.
- Certain types of supported cameras have incorporated relays which are set with the I/O checkbox.
- The “base” can be either an external gateway or the control computer itself (check “virtual” for this).
- The Map button needs to have an active internet connection and will show the robot’s and the base
position on a Google Maps webpage provided those are equipped with a GPS.
