Abstrakt
We present an approach to control a semi-autonomous robot team remotely
under low bandwidth conditions with a single operator. Our approach utilises
virtual reality and autonomous robots to create an immersive user interface
for multi-robot control. This saves a big amount of bandwidth, just because
there is no need to transfer a constant steam of camera images. The virtual
environment for control only has to be transferred once to the control station
and only has to be updated when the map is out of date. Also, the camera position
can easily be changed in virtual reality for more overview on the robots
situation. The parts of this approach can easily be transferred to applications
on earth e.g. for semi-autonomous robots in hazardous areas or under water
applications.
