Teleoperation means to operate a robot or a system from a distant location. Teleoperation is useful when the operating environment is dangerous, impractical or when achieving a specific vehicle for inspection environment is too expensive. Mobile robots can be considered as an example of teleoperation system because they can be remotely controlled to perform certain specific tasks. This paper is...

Exploration of mineral resources on ocean floor calls for unmanned systems and machines controlled from the surface. Removing operators from the vicinity of worksites introduces many technical challenges: low situational awareness in unknown environments, complexity of operated machines, and the need for high bandwidth real-time communication. Precise maps of the worksites underwater do not exi...

Teleoperation technology combines the strength and accuracy of robots with perception cognition abilities human experts, allowing to work as an avatar operator in dangerous environments. The motion compatibility intuitiveness human–machine interface directly affect quality teleoperation. However, many capture methods require special working environments or need bulky mechanisms. In this researc...

Teleoperation has found much application in today’s society. While its benefits make it advantageous in many situations, teleoperation also introduces new challenges. For example, the operator is forced to work with limited sensory feedback such as that from video cameras. Second, the mapping from what the operator inputs at the master manipulandum to what the operator sees the slave robot do c...

Discretisation of a stabilising continuous-time bilateral teleoperation controller for digital implementation may not necessarily lead to stable teleoperation. While previous research has focused on the question of passivity or stability of haptic interaction with a discretely simulated virtual wall, here the stability of master– slave teleoperation under discrete-time bilateral control is addr...

This paper presents a model-mediated approach for teleoperation with haptic feedback in the presence of time delays on the order of seconds. The target application for the control scheme is teleoperation of robotic manipulators for space systems in geosynchronous orbit. Previous work in model-mediated teleoperation allowed operators to interact with a virtual model of the remote robot and envir...

In the pursuit of increased safety the mining industry has worked to develop systems for remote control and autonomous operation of both stationary and mobile equipment. This paper reports on a newly developed system for teleoperation and autonomous tramming of LHD (Load-Haul-Dump) mining vehicles that not only increases the safety of the operators, but also has the potential to increase produc...

The robotics research program at Florida International University develops a broad range of robotic systems with a level of capability and robustness that supports long term, applied field operations. This paper provides insight into the design of a 1-Degree of Freedom (DOF) force-reflecting manual controller (FRMC) for the development of a teleoperation system by reviewing the wave variables t...

In this paper several control strategies and feedback information for teleoperation of a mobile robot are described and analyzed. Main objective is to verify the role of different types of feedback information and command strategies. Three control strategies which combined position-speed and position-position control modes are analyzed. Position-speed and positionposition command strategies are...

Many studies have been conducted for quantitative/qualitative analysis and comparison of various teleoperation schemes. Position-position, force-position and 4-channels are to name a few. However most of this research has been focused on electrically actuated manipulators. This paper documents the comparative study of various teleoperation schemes explicitly for hydraulic manipulators. Identica...
