ORBOID: Robotic VR based Application for Remote Regions

Abstract

In today's world protection of human and resources is very important in accordance with the rapidly growing population. Security is one of the major concerns of the globe. With the rapidly growing population it has become a global concern for protection of resources to serve the population. Industries all over the world spend a lot of capital in maintenance of resources and building of security system to protect international borders as well as domestic regions. The traditional approaches for security and maintenance are static in nature and those of currentportable are highly expensive. Maintenance of gases is important yet difficult. Pipes may undergo corrosion and may lead to leakage of gases. The proposed paper aims to eliminate these hurdles by proposing a cost effective application based and portable solution making use of smart phones and a robot machine. This system enables a user to set up a smart phone on the robot machine and move the robot with the help of controller. The user can then see all the data captured by the device on robot via live streaming or images stored in the firebase. The user can view the remote region in surrounding of robot by moving its own head wearing the VR which compel the movement of robot carrying the device in the same direction as that of user. Thus, this system proves to be of benefit for the maintenance team of pipes and well as for the security team to survey remote regions with human intervention on site.

Dual-Arm Robot with Mobile Robot Platform with Master-Slave Configuration for Teleoperation Application

“…The teleoperation robot system has received much attention in recent years due to its mobility and safety properties, which offer essential benefits [1], [2]. Typically, this type of robot system consists of a mobile robot system, controlled remotely by the human for executing specific dangerous and safety-critical tasks [3]- [5]. It has many possible uses, for example,in the medical field, such as for health screening and swab tests, especially during pandemics like influenza and COVID-19 outbreak.…”
