Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) technology is increasingly vital in various sectors, particularly for simulating real environments in training and teleoperation. However, it has primarily focused on static, controlled settings like indoor industrial shopfloors. This paper proposes a novel method for remotely controlling robots in hazardous environments safely, without compromising efficiency. Operators can execute tasks from remote locations ensuring continuity regardless of distance. Real-time efficiency is achieved by updating the virtual environment from on-site sensors and mirroring the real environment, utilizing 3D reconstruction, Google Images, and video streams. Communication between VR and the remote robot is facilitated through a remote robot operating system connection. The efficacy of this concept will be validated through real road maintenance interventions.

基于虚拟现实的危险环境动态场景再现和机器人远程操作

虚拟现实（VR）技术在各行各业越来越重要，特别是在培训和远程操作中模拟真实环境。然而，它主要集中在静态、受控的环境中，如室内工业车间。本文提出了一种在不影响效率的前提下，在危险环境中安全远程控制机器人的新方法。操作员可以从远程位置执行任务，无论距离多远，都能确保连续性。利用三维重建、谷歌图片和视频流，通过现场传感器更新虚拟环境并镜像真实环境，从而实现实时高效。VR 与远程机器人之间的通信通过远程机器人操作系统连接实现。这一概念的有效性将通过实际道路维护干预来验证。
