Augmented reality to improve teleoperation of mobile robots

Abstract

Abstract—In this article we want to discuss the skills required for human tele-operators of mobile robots. We show the classical problems related with teleoperation but focus our discussion in not specialized operators. We want to show how a proposal based on augmented reality interfaces can improve the performance of operators controlling the robot. We present the validation of our solution in two experiments: one in a controlled circuit and another one in a real environment. To carry out our experiments we use a low cost robotic surveillance platform.
