Abstract :
A framework for developing prototypes of remote controlled inspection robots with semi-autonomous behavior and augmented reality enriched real-time video feedback is presented. This platform is constituted of very common and reusable hardware, equipped with open source software. The resulting system is very flexible and customizable, with a low set-up time, which provide an affordable fast prototyping framework.
