Title
An Immersive Virtual Environment for Teleoperation of Remote Robotic Agents for Everyday Applications in Prohibitive Environments
Abstract
There are currently important limitations in allowing for a more efficient man-machine collaboration in environments hostile to human presence. An immersive and intuitive user interface has the potential to bridge the gap between the human and the robot he/she is tasked to operate in the remote environment. In this work, we propose a novel architecture that allows for collecting large amount of sensory data to build models of the world and its inhabitants and present this information to the teleoperator of the robot. This environment maintain interfaces that are intuitive to the operator and accurately represents the robot’s real-world state and environment. The proposed game client is capable of handling multiple users, much like a traditional multiplayer game, while visualizing multiple robotic agents operating within the real world. A set of user studies are conducted to validate the performance of the proposed architecture compared to traditional tele-robotic applications. The experimental results show significant improvements in both task completion time and task completion rate over traditional tools.
