Abstract:

In robotic teleoperation, an operator usually needs to be trained for long hours. One of the factors leading to this steep learning curve is the quality of telepresence. This letter proposes a novel and user-friendly telepresence interface for manipulation. Visual information from different views is merged and presented to the operator in an intuitive way to facilitate the task based on state-of-the-art virtual reality technology. Besides rendering the scene, a virtual robot is also rendered in the immersive view so that the robot is visible even when it is occluded. We performed a series of user studies to evaluate this interface. The results show that the proposed interface can achieve a better task performance compared to a standard approach in both the manipulation efficiency and the users' preferences.
