Tele-Existence Techniques of Heavy Work Vehicles

The problem of finding a feasible and technically simple tele-existence system for teleoperation of heavy work vehicles is considered with the aid of two experimental test series. Several test persons of different ages and experience were used in experiments in which a basic audio/video tele-existence system with head-tracking was modified into different versions and tested. Conclusions indicate that details of the tasks and work environment have an important role in finding the optimal solution.
