Summary In this paper we propose an innovative robot remote control method, a synthesized scene recollection method, which provides the operator with a bird’seye view image of the robot in an environment which is generated by using position and orientation information of the robot, stored image history data captured by a camera mounted on the robot, and the model of the robot. This method helps the...
In this chapter, we summarize the findings and knowhow in the individual developments of rescue robots and attempt to establish design guidelines for the human interface for rescue robots. The guidelines for image display were established on the basis of some case studies in the DDT project and RoboCupRescue. Since the established guidelines are general and independent of the purpose of a robot, we...
This paper introduces the activities of the In-Rubble Robot System Mission Unit during the DDT project. The objective of the mission unit (MU) was to develop effective systems that can search for victims under debris. The main activities of the MU were as follows: (1) developing advanced search system based on IRS Souryu; (2) developing advanced tools such as jack robot, cutter robot, intelligent...
Intelligent rescue systems with advanced information and robot technology have been expected to mitigate disaster damage, particularly in Japan after the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. It is important that the robots developed for search and rescue tasks can actually work at a real disaster site. Several robots were used for the search and detection operation in the collapsed World Trade Center building...
A robot is an important tool for collecting data such as camera images at a remote site. These camera images are also used for robot operation. In this paper our aim is to develop an information collection system that can collect environmental information efficiently and can reduce the operational load for controlling a robot by realizing reduction of a travelling distance without reducing amount...
Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) are the most popular devices for virtual reality, telexistence/telepresence humanoid operation, and remote behavior navigation. Telexistence/telepresence robot operation is an advanced teleoperation, enabling a human operator to perform remote dexterous manipulation tasks while having the feeling of being present in the remote environment. Behavior navigation is a novel...
Performing general human behavior by experts' navigation is expected to be realized as wearable and ubiquitous technologies and computing develop further. For example, the user of the behavior navigation system will be able to conduct first aid treatment as an expert would. We proposed and developed the Wearable Behavior Navigation System (WBNS) using Augmented Reality (AR) technology. By using the...
Performing general human behavior by experts' navigation is expected to be realized as advances are made in wearable technologies and computing. For instance, the user of the behavior navigation system can conduct first aid treatment similar to an expert. We have proposed and developed a prototype of the advanced Behavior Navigation System (BNS) using Augmented Reality (AR) technology. By using BNS,...
The capability to perform specific human tasks with the assistance of expert navigation is expected to be realized through the development wearable and ubiquitous computing technology. For instance, when an injured or ill person requires first-aid treatment, but only non-experts are nearby, instruction from an expert at a remote site is necessary. A behavior navigation system will allow the user to...
Performing general human behavior by experts' navigation is expected to be realized as wearable and ubiquitous technologies and computing develop. For simple, ordinary behavior, a person does not need the assistance of an expert. However, if one is standing next to an injured/ill person, one needs the instruction on performing first aid treatment from an expert. The wearer of the wearable behavior...
