Robotic tele-existence

Tele-existence is an advanced type of teleoperation system that enables a human operator at the controls to perform remote manipulation tasks dexterously with the feeling that he or she exists in the remote anthropomorphic robot in the remote environment. The concept of a tele-existence is presented, the principle of the tele-existence display method is explained, some of the prototype systems are described, and its space application is discussed

Remote Control of Mobile Robot using the Virtual Reality

In this paper we present the simulation and manipulation of  teleoperation system for remote control of mobile robot using the Virtual Reality (VR). The objective of this work is to allow the operator to control and supervise a unicycle type mobile robot. In this research we followed three ways: The use of articulated robotic mobile on the Web, the design of remote environment for the experimentation using the network for the mobile robot and the  architecture of control is proposed to facilitate the piloting of the robot. This work proposes a hardware and software architecture based on communication and information technologies to control the virtual robot to improve the control towards the remote robot. A path planning method is integrated to the remote control system. Results show the real possibilities offered by this manipulation, in order to follow a trajectory of the robot and to create applications with a distance access to facilities through networks like the Internet and wireless

SARSCEST (human factors)

People interact with the processes and products of contemporary technology. Individuals are affected by these in various ways and individuals shape them. Such interactions come under the label 'human factors'. To expand the understanding of those to whom the term is relatively unfamiliar, its domain includes both an applied science and applications of knowledge. It means both research and development, with implications of research both for basic science and for development. It encompasses not only design and testing but also training and personnel requirements, even though some unwisely try to split these apart both by name and institutionally. The territory includes more than performance at work, though concentration on that aspect, epitomized in the derivation of the term ergonomics, has overshadowed human factors interest in interactions between technology and the home, health, safety, consumers, children and later life, the handicapped, sports and recreation education, and travel. Two aspects of technology considered most significant for work performance, systems and automation, and several approaches to these, are discussed
