There are found the answers to the scientific question whether it is possible to figure out the methodology to explore technology gaps looking through Operational Requirements (ORs) defined for military systems, to apply it to construction industry applications technology gaps exploration. In this paper were specified the (ORs) that enabled a preliminary analysis on Unmanned Ground Systems (UGSs): which kind of platforms might be developed and shared between the systems devoted to different military and construction industry applications. In this paper are presented technology gaps identified by comparing the ORs with the state of play of technologies that are currently available in the military and construction equipment applications. Then the challenges and measures are identified and associated to the gaps that should be taken in order to bridge each specific gap. There are identified technological and non-technological aspects that may hamper development of UGS solutions that fully achieve the ORs, and thus would need to be further studied and/or elaborated. As a next step actions are specified. They represent the research and development initiatives, steps or activities that should be done in order to be in the position of developing UGS solutions achieving the specified ORs and requirements of construction site. The actions need to be completed to bridge the technology gaps to make required new capabilities available. One of results of such a methodology are schedules based on the roadmap aimed to guide the development of the future UGS solutions towards the achievement of operational and construction site requirements.

The aim of this paper is to present the simulation system for analysis of specialized mobile robots, which is equipped with a supporting human operator (on-board or teleoperator) computer system. Simulation is performed in real time, using a computer system and a mobile robot. Visualization of the environment simulation, movements of the vehicle, and behavior of the human operator are done by computer animation and partly by a mobile robot and its physical environment. The performance of the control unit in different environmental conditions, including detection of obstacles using different sensors, can be observed using a mobile robot moving in a simulated environment configured according to experimental requirements.

399The aim of this paper is to present the simulation system for analysis of the specialized mobile systems, which are equipped with a human operator -supported computer system (on board or tele-operator). Simulation is performed in real time, using a computer system and a mobile robot. Visualization of the simulation of the environment, movements of the mobile base and behaviour of the human operator is done by a computer animation and partly by a mobile robot and its physical environment. Correct behaviour of the control unit in different environmental conditions including a detection of obstacles using different sensors could be observed using mobile robot moving in simulated environment and configured especially to experimental requirements.
