Operation Scenario  

Diagram below illustrates the typical operation scenario. The Jaguar is a wireless networked outdoor mobile 
robot. It comes with a wireless 802.11 AP/router. The remote host controller PC running the “Jaguar Control” 
program connects to the Jaguar robot via: 

 

Network cable – Connect the robot on-board AP/router. (DO NOT connect to the WAN port), or 

 

Wireless – To connect the host controller PC to the on-robot wireless AP/router, configure the host PC’s 
wireless settings using the default wireless configuration settings found in the Network Connection 
session of this manual. 

Human operator carrying the host controller PC could use the head-mounted display (accessory option) and the 
included game-pad controller in outdoor environment to monitor and control the operator under any outdoor 
lighting environment, even under direct sunshine.  The included “Jaguar Control” program will therefore be 
projected on the head-mounted display, where you could see all the sensor information from the robot, and the 
video streamed from the camera on robot (Please refer to “Jaguar Control program” session for detail). 

 

Typical Operation Scenario 

Note: The host controller PC running the “Jaguar Control” program could be mounted on the robot instead off the 
robot if your application requires so.  

Software Installation 

Jaguar Control programs, application development library and supporting documents could be found from the 
Jaguar software CD. 

On the host controller computer, you should install the following programs from the installation CD: 

 

“Jaguar Control” program -  installed  by the Setup.exe from CD 

 

Google Earth program - could be downloaded from http://earth.google.com/download-

earth.html. Please follow its installation instruction. 

Portable PC (Host controller PC) 
(Optional) 

Head-mounted display
