Ed-Remote is the handheld command-and-control core for the Wiewiorka Works platforms.
It combines physical controls with a touchscreen HUD, allowing one operator to supervise Kagura, YATO-Umbrella and future connected platforms through a single interface designed for safe, readable field operation.
The system is designed for extended operation without full shutdown.
Its hot-swappable battery architecture supports battery replacement during long sessions, helping maintain control, telemetry, and situational awareness while reducing downtime in the field.
Ed-Remote exposes multiple external interfaces for expansion and integration, including 2x USB, Ethernet and HDMI. This allows connection of peripherals, storage, external displays, network links and future support hardware without redesigning the controller body.
The main HUD map displays robot position, heading, telemetry and mission context in real time. Operators can monitor multiple assets on one screen while keeping key platform status visible through dedicated side panels and top-bar indicators.
Ed-Remote includes a built-in mission view for creating, editing, saving and loading waypoint routes. The same interface used for live control can also support route planning and navigation preparation, reducing the need for separate tools during setup and operation.
Operators can switch between RGB, thermal and hybrid video modes directly from the touchscreen interface.
The HUD is designed to keep camera selection, telemetry and control state visible at the same time, so observation does not come at the cost of command awareness.
Ed-Remote can display environmental overlays directly on the map, including air quality data from OpenAQ. Stations can be inspected through interactive popups, giving the operator quick access to local readings such as particulate and atmospheric indicators within the same mission interface.
The map interface supports active fire overlays using NASA FIRMS data. This adds wider environmental context to the operator view and helps connect robot operations with nearby fire detections, thermal anomalies and broader incident conditions.
Ed-Remote also supports live aircraft tracking overlays, helping the operator understand nearby air activity and maintain broader situational awareness. This is especially useful when robotics activity must be interpreted alongside surrounding airspace movement.
The interface can display ionizing radiation monitoring data from distributed public sensor networks. This allows radiation context to be reviewed on the same map used for platform control, improving environmental awareness without requiring a separate dashboard.
Ed-Remote is the operational interface that ties together command input, telemetry, mapping, video, overlays and mission planning into one portable system. Its design separates deterministic low-level control from the higher-level HUD, making the platform both robust in operation and flexible for future expansion.
