Hierarchical control of a visual monitoring system for telerobot tasks

摘要

Using visual information such as TV monitors is the most important function in telerobotic task execution. The authors have proposed an intelligent control system for a monitoring camera to achieve telerobotic task execution. In this paper they extend the previously proposed system to the problem of monitoring multiple and concurrent tasks. The authors propose a higher level monitoring framework which takes into account the supervisor's view rather than working robot itself. Several results from an experiment are presented.
