Real-Time Remote Control via VR over Limited Wireless Connectivity
This addresses remote human-robot interaction challenges in unstable wireless environments, though it appears incremental as it integrates existing functionalities.
The paper tackles the problem of remote robot control over limited wireless connectivity by developing a VR interface with real-time 3D mapping and automatic fallback to autonomous mode, achieving seamless end-to-end operation.
This work introduces a solution to enhance human-robot interaction over limited wireless connectivity. The goal is toenable remote control of a robot through a virtual reality (VR)interface, ensuring a smooth transition to autonomous mode in the event of connectivity loss. The VR interface provides accessto a dynamic 3D virtual map that undergoes continuous updatesusing real-time sensor data collected and transmitted by therobot. Furthermore, the robot monitors wireless connectivity and automatically switches to a autonomous mode in scenarios with limited connectivity. By integrating four key functionalities: real-time mapping, remote control through glasses VR, continuous monitoring of wireless connectivity, and autonomous navigation during limited connectivity, we achieve seamless end-to-end operation.
