Systems and Algorithms for Collaborative Teleoperation

摘要

Collaborative Teleoperation (CT) systems allow many users to simultaneously share control of a single remote physical resource such as a robot or human "explorer", with applications in education, health care, journalism, and entertainment. A primary challenge is scalable methods for computing consensus commands. This thesis combines results from two networked CT systems: one with a robotic webcamera (the Co-Opticon) and one with a human explorer (the Tele-Actor). In the
