Abstract:

This talk will present an easy-to-deploy, virtual reality-based teleoperation system for controlling a robot arm. The proposed system is based on a consumer-grade virtual reality device (Oculus Quest 2) with a low-cost robot arm (a LoCoBot). This proposed Work-from-Home Virtual Reality (WFH-VR) system allows the user to feel an intimate connection with the real remote robot arm. Virtual representations of the robot and objects to be manipulated in the real-world are presented in VR by streaming data pertaining to orientation and poses. More details about the system could be found on the website : https://arg-nctu.github.io/projects/vr-robot-arm.html
