Bilateral Teleoperation of Aerial Service Robots
Description of research
The main objective of the research is to develop an advanced human-robot interaction interface that enhances the performance of the human operator while carrying out sophisticated tasks, which involve robots characterized by complex dynamics such as Aerial Service Robots, possibly deployed in a remote and unstructured environment and actively interacting with the environment even through contact. To create the virtual presence of the human operator at the site of action and a feeling as if he/she is directly executing the task safely and efficiently, we will develop advanced teleoperation algorithms that ensure operator and equipment safety in the existence of various technological imperfections while at the same time increase efficiency of task accomplishment. We will equip the operator with interfaces that render the state of the different parts of the Aerial service Robot (which is ideally acting as a flying extension or replacement of the operator’s hand) and its environment through natural sensory inputs (vision and kinesthesia and others) that enables the operator accomplish its task with less physical and metal load.
