SPRinT: smart phone based navigation for natural human robot interaction and tele-presence
Pages 281 - 282
Abstract
In this paper, we propose an smart phone based interface to control a robot based tele-presence system, called the SPRinT(Smart Phone and Robot for Tele-operation and Tele-presence).
It is designed around its mobility and relies on spatial/gestural interaction to achieve the efficiency and tele-presence. The interaction is designed such that the operator "poses" as the robot in the remote area. In navigation mode, the remote interaction space is mapped to the operator space, in-place and first person view based clutching method is used to control the navigation. For other types of tasks, the user will use multimodal interfaces such as motion gesture, touch, voice, and buttons to control the remote view/camera and end-effector, interact with people and explore the environment in the remote site. Preliminary tests have shown promising results in terms of the level of presence felt through the robot and smart phone.

Bringing the Scene Back to the Tele-operator: Auditory Scene Manipulation for Tele-presence Systems
HRI '15: Proceedings of the Tenth Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionIn a tele-operated robot system, the reproduction of auditory scenes, conveying 3D spatial information of sound sources in the remote robot environment, is important for the transmission of remote presence to the tele-operator. We proposed a tele-...
Analysis of successes and failures with a tele-operated mobile robot in various modes of operation
The effect on failure rates of the way tele-operators interact with mobile robots is investigated. Human tele-operators attempted to move a robot through progressively more complicated environments with reducing gaps, as quickly as possible. Tele-...
Tactile tele-operation of a mobile robot with a collision vector
In this paper, we have developed and implemented a system that combines autonomous obstacle avoidance with force-reflective tele-operation. In this system, a tele-operated mobile robot is controlled by a local two-degrees-of-freedom force-reflective ...
