Applications like disaster management and industrial inspection often require experts to
enter contaminated places. To circumvent the need for physical presence, it is desirable to …

Intuitive interaction is the cornerstone of efficient and effective task execution in remote
robotic teleoperation. It requires high-fidelity in control actions as well as perception (vision …

Virtual reality (VR) systems let users intuitively interact with 3D environments and have been
used extensively for robotic teleoperation tasks. While more immersive than their 2D …

The user interface is the central element of a telepresence robotic system and its
visualization modalities greatly affect the operator's situation awareness, and thus its …

Robotic avatars promise immersive teleoperation with human-like manipulation and
communication capabilities. We present such an avatar system, based on the key …

The task of teleoperating a robot over a wireless video link is known to be very difficult.
Teleoperation becomes even more difficult when the robot is surrounded by dense …

This paper presents a novel telepresence system for enhancing aerial manipulation
capabilities. It involves not only a haptic device, but also a virtual reality that provides a 3D …

We demonstrate a low-cost telerobotic system that leverages commercial virtual reality (VR)
technology and integrates it with existing robotics control infrastructure. The system runs on …

Whether exploring a defunct nuclear reactor, defusing a bomb, delivering medicine to
quarantined patients, repairing the International Space Station from the outside, or providing …

Intuitive interaction is the cornerstone of accurate and effective performance in remote
robotic teleoperation. It requires high-fidelity in control actions as well as perception (vision …
