Abstract

In recent years, the cutting-edge technologies in smart manufacturing have presented promising opportunities for the utilization of human-robot collaborative teleoperation in personalized manufacturing tasks. To effectively leverage the creative capabilities of humans while benefiting from the efficiency and stability of robots, the provision of an intuitive teleoperation interface assumes paramount importance. However, current teleoperation systems still face limitations in terms of intuitive operability. In this study, we present a virtual reality-based teleoperation system that offers operators a more intuitive interaction platform for robot control, thereby facilitating personalized manufacturing processes. The overall system framework design, as well as the main components are elaborated in detail. Furthermore, an evaluative case study based on the battery disassembly task is conducted to assess the performance of the proposed system. The results demonstrate that the proposed teleoperation system exhibits improved intuitiveness.

基于虚拟现实的沉浸式远程操纵系统，用于远程人机协作制造

近年来，智能制造领域的尖端技术为在个性化制造任务中利用人机协作远程操作提供了大有可为的机会。为了有效利用人类的创造能力，同时从机器人的效率和稳定性中获益，提供直观的远程操作界面至关重要。然而，当前的远程操纵系统在直观操作性方面仍然面临着限制。在本研究中，我们提出了一种基于虚拟现实的远程操纵系统，它为操作员提供了一个更直观的机器人控制交互平台，从而促进了个性化制造流程。我们详细阐述了系统的整体框架设计和主要组件。此外，还进行了一项基于电池拆卸任务的评估性案例研究，以评估所提议系统的性能。结果表明，所提出的远程操作系统具有更好的直观性。
