Teleoperating Robots in Multiuser Virtual Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the last few years, robot teleoperation systems have been improved with the advances in computer networks, virtual reality and graphical user interfaces. However, teleoperation applications for multiple and different robots in networked virtual environments are not available for all kind of users. This paper presents a collaborative multiuser system for multiple simultaneous robot teleoperation. We describes the object oriented distributed architecture used and the system modules developed. The system implementation shows a visual simulation based on a networked virtual environment. The system allows different kinds of manipulators and mobile robots, either virtual or real. The feasibility of the system has been successfully demonstrated with some experiments.

Teleoperating a Humanoid Robot with Virtual Reality
Teleoperating robots, particularly humanoid robots, from a remote environment remains a difficult problem. Significant research has been conducted in human-robot interaction for teleoperating mobile ground robots for both novice and experienced operators with a variety of interfaces and strategies; however, there is significantly less research on teleoperating humanoid robots. By their nature, ...
متن کاملFlexible system for simulating and tele-operating robots through the internet
Simulation and teleoperation tools offer many advantages for the training or learning of technological subjects, such as flexibility in time-tables and student access to expensive and limited equipment. In this paper, we present a new system for simulating and teleoperating robot arms through the Internet, which allows many users to simulate and test positioning commands for a robot by means of...

In this chapter, we present the design and implementation of an integrated platform for Educational Virtual Environments. This platform aims to support an educational community, synchronous online courses in multiuser three-dimensional (3D) environments, and the creation and access of asynchronous courses through a learning content management system. In order to offer synchronous courses, we ha...
متن کاملCollaboration in Persistent Virtual Reality Multiuser Interfaces: Theory and Implementation
We discuss some of the issues in collaborative persistent virtual world design and implementation for geographically-dispersed users. The development of a protocol which suits these environments are discussed. We illustrate our discussion using a persistent 3D VRML-based multiuser virtual world built for the management of telecommunication networks.
