Machine Vision Based Teleoperation Aid

When teleoperating a robot using video from a remote camera, it is difficult for the operator to gauge depth and orientation from a single view. In addition, there are situations where a camera mounted for viewing by the teleoperator during a teleoperation task may not be able to see the tool tip, or the viewing angle may not be intuitive (requiring extensive training to reduce the risk of inco...

Shape Based Machine Vision

The study of visual object recognition is often motivated by the problem of recognizing 3-d objects given that we receive 2-d patterns of light on our retinae. Recent findings from human psychophysics, neurophysiology and computational vision provide converging evidence for a view-based recognition framework in which objects and scenes are represented as collections of viewpoint-specific local ...

Computer Vision Body Modeling for Gesture Based Teleoperation

Dependable robots and teleoperation, taken in its broadest sense, require natural and friendly human–robot interaction systems. The work presented consists of a methodology for human–robot interaction based on the perception of human intention from vision and force. The vision system interprets human gestures from the integration of a stereovision and a carving system, from which it extracts a ...

Man-Machine Cooperation in Advanced Teleoperation

Teleoperation experiments at JPL have shown that advanced features in a telerobotic system are a necessary condition for good results, but that they are not sufficient to assure consistent good performance by the operators. Two or three operators are normally used during training and experiments to maintain the desired performance. An alternative to this multi-operator control station is a man-...
