“…As another solution, Sugimoto et al [11] have proposed "Time follower's vision." Using mixed reality technology, their system enables an operator to see the robot's position and orientation superimposed on the background image of the remote environment with the help of Computer Graphics (CG).…”

Abstract:In this paper, the authors propose a new remote robot control interface that reduces the complexity of robot control. The proposed interface constraints the robot's movements depending on the target object that the operator wants to observe. The interface displays the constraints to the operator on a screen with the help of Augmented Reality (AR) technology. We named the interface "Object-defined remote robot control interface" because the interface provides suitable procedures for the objects that need to be operated on. The interface receives information about the robot and candidate objects from a camera that has been set up to capture a bird's-eye view of the target environment and displays this information on a touch screen display. When the operator selects an object as the target by touching it on the display, constrained tracks for the robot's movements and their corresponding AR representations are generated on the screen. A block assembly task was conducted to evaluate this interface. The results showed the system's effectiveness in terms of both task completion time and operation time.

“…Existing AR systems overlay visualisations of complex data onto a real world view, for example in teleoperation and monitoring of robots [3], [4], [5], [6]. A view of the robot and environment is synthesized graphically from onboard sensory data, such as camera images, and presented to remote operators, increasing their situation awareness.…”

Abstract-Mobile robots are increasingly entering the real and complex world of humans in ways that necessitate a high degree of interaction and cooperation between human and robot. Complex simulation models, expensive hardware setup, and a highly controlled environment are often required during various stages of robot development. There is a need for robot developers to have a more flexible approach for conducting experiments and to obtain a better understanding of how robots perceive the world. Mixed Reality (MR) presents a world where real and virtual elements co-exist. By merging the real and the virtual in the creation of an MR simulation environment, more insight into the robot behaviour can be gained, e.g. internal robot information can be visualised, and cheaper and safer testing scenarios can be created by making interactions between physical and virtual objects possible. Robot developers are free to introduce virtual objects in an MR simulation environment for evaluating their systems and obtain a coherent display of visual feedback and realistic simulation results. We illustrate our ideas using an MR simulation tool constructed based on the 3D robot simulator Gazebo.

“…For example, there are already several examples [7], [8], [9], [10] of interfaces that use virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) displays to achieve the goals of the guidelines. These interfaces have a natural way to convey spatial information in a single view, and they possess a versatility that places them in all of Fong and Thorpe's classes.…”
