Exploring Extended Reality Multi-Robot Ground Control Stations

Abstract

This paper presents work-in-progress research exploring the use of extended reality headsets to overcome the intrinsic limitations of conventional, screen-based ground control stations. Specifically, we discuss an extended reality ground control station prototype developed to explore how the strengths of these immersive technologies can be leveraged to improve 3D information visualization, workspace scalability, natural interaction methods, and system mobility for multi-robot ground control stations.
