In our previous works, we have proposed a mixed force and motion commands-based space robot teleoperation system and a compact 6-DOF haptic interface to achieve an effective manual teleoperation. Until now, the effectiveness of this system and the haptic interface has been confirmed by the experiments in our laboratory. The most important features of this teleoperation system are robustness aga...

Our goal is to make vehicle teleoperation accessible to all users. To do this, we are developing easy-to-use yet capable Web tools which enable efficient, robust teleoperation in unknown and unstructured environments. Webbased teleoperation, however, raises many research issues, as well as prohibiting the use of traditional approaches. Thus, it is essential to develop new methods which minimize...

Development of a teleoperation system means development of several subsystems, such as control devices modules, communications and graphic user interface. Each one of these components is studied, conceived, and built generally in an independent way with particular software and methods. The complexity of the system can involve a very expensive development and integration of components to complet...

This paper proposes a bilateral control framework for mobile robots which share the same workspace. The robots are teleoperated by independent users. Accordingly, for each teleoperated robot the other robots represent moving obstacles or static obstacles with a-priori unknown positions. For such teleoperation systems a velocity generator algorithm is proposed to obtain the linear and angular ve...

Even a small amount of time delay in a bilateral teleoperation system will generally degrade the system's performance and cause instability. Consequently, without some form of compensation for time delay, latencies in a teleoperation system would preclude the use of force feedback. Fortunately, there are approaches based on scattering theory and passivity that can compensate for time delay and ...

Teleoperation system performances suffer from the delays in the communications line. These delays are usually variable time delays. The customary wave variable technique used for constant time delays cannot provide satisfactory results to stabilize the system under variable delays. Another problem occurs in the position tracking performance of the limitedworkspace teleoperation systems. Althoug...

In the past decade robotics and the Internet, fed by the great advances in computing and networking, matured into giant interdisciplinary scientific fields. Therefore, it is not surprising that many are trying to merge these two technologies and develop Internet-based robotic teleoperation. More interestingly, Internet-based bilateral teleoperation, where supermedia is fed back to the operator ...

Guiding a remote vehicle when real time image transmission is not possible is an important problem in the field of teleoperation. In such a situation, it is impractical to put an operator behind a steering wheel and expect accurate steering. In semi-autonomous teleoperation, an operator designates the path that the vehicle should follow in an image of the scene transmitted from the vehicle, and...

Teleoperation enables complex robot platforms to perform tasks beyond the scope of current state-of-the-art autonomy by imparting human intelligence and critical thinking these operations. For seamless control platforms, it is essential facilitate optimal situational awareness workspace for operator through active telepresence cameras. However, cameras adds an additional degree complexity task ...

This paper considers adding autonomy to robot hands used in teleoperation systems. Currently, the finger positions of robot hands in teleoperation systems are controlled via a robot master using a Dataglove or exoskeleton. There are several difficulties with this approach: accurate calibration is hard to achieve; robot hands have different capabilities from human hands; and complex force reflec...
