Telepresence System with 3D Mouse and Path-Planning Functionality

Telepresence system provides interfaces to remotely teleoperate robot and execute hazardous task. These tasks are generally executed by human operator in master–slave mode. Telepresence interface provides a small haptic device to manipulate robot, stereoscopic view to see the environment and moreover force reflection capability. Bilateral master–slave tele-manipulation depends upon operator’s experience and agility to a large extent. In this article, we discuss the concept of 3D mouse and path-planning functionality for an autonomous stereo vision guided telerobotics system. These augmented reality functionalities will assist operator to perform pick and place operations more efficiently.
