Telepresence and Intervention Robotics
Abstract
In the field of Mobile Robotics applications dedicated to inspection or intervention in hostile, unreachable or unstructured environments, human operators are "processed" in the control loop developed for a Telepresence System. On the one hand dynamic situations suffer from a lack of automation degree by mobile robots but on the other hand a complete task robotisation can run counter to economic or human constraints. In mine clearance activity for instance. mobile robots and especially teleoperated semi-legged robots can be seen as a solution, not to replace the mine clearance specialists, but as a safe tool for human operators in some well-defined situations. As human interaction with a machine is often oriented towards application, the teleoperation of a mobile robot under geometrical constraints is not easy to achieve if no training period occurred previously for the operator. A foothridge exists between training and relevant missions on navigation tasks: a real activity with a mobile robot can be prepared in a micro-world - a virtual world or an Augmented Reality world.
