An autonomous eye robot for tele-operation

Abstract

This paper proposes an autonomous eye robot which moves arbitrarily in the slave spaces, acquires appropriate visual informations and transmits them to the master sides. By watching these informations, the operators can easily understand the real situation of the slave side, and they can easily execute the tele-manipulation. The first part of this paper shows some examples to demonstrate the effects of visual informations in tele-operations. The second part proposes an autonomous eye robot and the control strategy to move the robot.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
