Visual telepresence seeks to extend existing teleoperative capability by supplying the
operator with a 3D interactive view of the remote environment. This is achieved through the …

An important need while using robots or remotely operated equipment is the ability for the
operator or an observer to easily and accurately perceive the operating environment. A …

Despite advances in robotic systems, many tasks needing to be undertaken in hazardous
environments require human control. The risk to human life can be reduced or minimised …

Maintenance of power generation, transmission and distribution equipment represents a
major task. Our goal is to decrease the down time as well as to remove maintenance crews …
