Development of surrounded audio-Visual display system for humanoid robot control

Abstract

This paper presents an audio-visual display system that is embedded in a cockpit where a human operator controls a tele-operated humanoid robot as if he was on the robot. The developed audio-visual display system consists of a surrounded visual display subsystem, a HMD with a head-tracking function, a surrounded audio display subsystem and a man-machine interface subsystem. Design principles, architectures and implementations of those subsystems are precisely described. These subsystems should be connected to a master-slave controlling subsystem in the humanoid robotics system.
