Abstract-Remote control of robots is often necessary to complete complex unstructured tasks in environments that are inaccessible (e.g. dangerous) for humans. Tele-operation of humanoid robots is often performed trough motion tracking to reduce the complexity deriving from manually controlling a high number of DOF. However, most commercial motion tracking apparatus are expensive and often uncomfortable. Moreover, a limitation of this approach is the need to maintain visual contact with the operated robot, or to employ a second human operator to independently maneuver a camera. As a result, even performing simple tasks heavily depends on the skill and synchronization of the two operators. To alleviate this problem we propose to use augmented-reality to provide the operator with first-person vision and a natural interface to directly control the camera, and at the same time the robot. By integrating recent off-the-shelf technologies, we provide an affordable and intuitive environment composed of Microsoft Kinect, Oculus Rift and haptic SensorGlove to tele-operate in first-person humanoid robots. We demonstrate on the humanoid robot iCub that this set-up allows to quickly and naturally accomplish complex tasks.
