“…As study and practice in the fields of virtual reality, augmented reality and the metaverse emerge, hyper robotic automation are the next essential RPA research agenda (Haleem et al, 2021). AI and RPA-based hyper-automation are essential components for creating an engaging, authentic and scalable Metaverse experience (Togias et al, 2021). Therefore, focused research on RPA in virtual world is essential to explore various dimensions, and adoption of RPA in virtual world.…”

PurposeRobotic Process Automation (RPA) is a digital transformation tool that demonstrated tremendous growth in research output as well as its application in the past decade. This study attempts to identify essential research gaps and proposes future research agendas in the field by analyzing publishing trends, major stakeholders (authors, countries, affiliations, journals), key clusters and evolving themes by mapping the most recent research (2016–2022) in the field.Design/methodology/approachPreferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) was used to retrieve a total of 244 publications from the Web of Science (WOS) database for this analysis. The study then uses the open-source R program bibliometrix to conduct bibliometric analysis. A variety of tools and methods including collaboration network, word dynamics, co-occurrence network, thematic map and strategy map were utilized.FindingsThe analysis reveals the most influential stakeholders (country: the USA, author: Arai K, affiliation: Christ Deemed University), main clusters of intellectual structure (process mining, digital transformation, blockchain, information systems) and the evolution of themes (model innovation, artificial intelligence, big-data, design science and user acceptance) in the subject.Originality/valueThis study uses bibliometric analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of RPA literature which unravels the conceptual structure of the stream and proposes a research agenda for the future. Based on the growth of themes and the strategy map, this study may assist entrepreneurs and practitioners in determining field priorities for strategizing process innovation.

“…Operators operate controls through keyboards, mice, controllers, and even through hand tracking and gesture recognition (Peppoloni et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2020). However, the traditional teleoperation system still has defects in the amount of information transmission and transmission efficiency throughout the control process, which cannot enable the operator to achieve efficient teleoperation with a high degree of immersion (Togias et al, 2021). Now the robot teleoperation method using virtual reality has gradually become a research hotspot, and many studies have realized the robot teleoperation using virtual reality (Pérez et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2019).…”

To realize efficient remote human-computer interaction of robots, a robot remote operating system based on virtual reality and digital twin is proposed. The system builds a digital twin model based on the Unity 3D engine to establish a connection with the robot entity, assisting the online remote programming and real-time manipulation of the robot unit. The system uses HTC VIVE to build a virtual reality framework. To actualize the mutual drive between the real space and the virtual space, a mathematical model of the robot is constructed through the forward and inverse kinematics of the robot. Through the combination of eye-tracking-based eye movement interaction and the unique controller interaction of virtual reality system, a multi-sensory multi-input collaborative interaction method is accomplished. The method realizes the robot joints driving of users using multiple interaction methods simultaneously, simplifies the robot programming and control procedure, and optimizes the operation experience. Tests demonstrate that the system is capable of effectively providing monitoring, teleoperation and programming services for remote interaction of robots.

Virtual Reality (VR) can be described as a set of technologies involved in positioning the user in an environment simulated by a computer, which allows the user to interact with three-dimensional objects in the virtual environment. Within virtual environments there are several tools, the main ones being VR glasses [1], accompanied by audio devices and motion sensors that provide the user with a more immersive experience. According to the perspective developed by the authors, industries and educational centers that implement virtual environments for teaching can count on advantages in terms of personal training and in minimizing the costs of implementing physical scenarios for training. The analysis of different approaches to the use of VR in the development of industrial applications, through the selected research, will provide the ability to expand the spectrum of possibilities in the field of automation systems in the present and future. In the present work, a review of the existing literature is made from different types of perspectives and applications on the use of simulated environments and how these can be a source of learning and improvement of different activities related to control and automation systems.
