In GPS-denied environments, robot systems typically revert to navigating with dead-reckoning and relative mapping, accumulating error in their global pose estimate. In this paper, we propose Feature-based Localization between Air and Ground (FLAG), a method for computing global position updates by matching features observed from ground to features in an aerial image. Our method uses stable, descriptorless...
Direct teleoperation with multisecond time-delayed telemetry between master and slave is challenging for humans to perform. When controlling a holonomic robot with many degrees of freedom, operators may incidentally provide commands in an intended direction without realizing their mistake until receiving feedback several seconds later. For some applications, imposing a virtual nonholonomic constraint...
The ability to refuel satellites on-orbit using teleoperated robots could extend the life of satellite missions, potentially saving time and resources for both industry and space agencies. One critical step in the refueling process is to gain access to the satellite's fueling port by cutting through a seam of tape that adheres two sections of multi-layer insulation (MLI) covering the satellite body...
Traditional methods of camera orientation control for teleoperated robots involve gamepads or joysticks with the motion of analog sticks used to control the camera direction. However, this control scheme often leads to unintuitive mappings between user input and camera actuator output. This paper describes a master-slave style camera position and orientation controller with a tablet computer showing...
Current autonomous robots are not sophisticated enough to complete many mobile tasks, so human-in-the-loop control - including teleoperation - remains the only way to accomplish these tasks. However, most teleoperated tasks cannot be performed at a reasonable speed.When evaluating design choices, it is not always clear which designs will yield the greatest speed increase at the lowest cost. This paper...
The 2013 Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Pioneers Workshop, which will be held in conjunction with the 8th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, is the premiere venue for student research in the field. This highly selective workshop seeks to foster creativity, communication, and collaboration between the world's top student researchers in the field of human-robot interaction...
