A Remote Maintenance System with the use of Virtual Reality

The use of robots for fault diagnosis and maintenance operations is going more and more widely used, these robots’ controls is generally done by teleoperation. This still has many weak points. To remove these problems, we use the virtual reality techniques. We conceive a system for collecting vibration data with the use of a remote robot control controlled by a virtual designed model. With our model we can manipulate both of the machine, to be checked, and the robot. In our 3D model the data collecting points are very well known. This will assure a good exactitude in the data collection. Our system will assure a good remote maintenance and fault diagnosis not only in dangerous places, but also in the ordinary cases.
