    Telexistence and Teleoperation for Walking Humanoid Robots Mohamed Elobaid1, Yue Hu1, Giulio Romualdi12, Stefano Dafarra12, Jan Babic3, and Daniele Pucci1 1 Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, 16163 Genova, Italy [email protected] 2 DIBRIS, Universit`adegli studi di Genova, 16163 Genova, Italy 3 Jo~zefStefan Institute, Jamova cesta 39, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia [email protected] Abstract. This paper proposes an architecture for achieving telexis- tence and teleoperation of humanoid robots. The architecture combines several technological set-ups, methodologies, locomotion and manipula- tion algorithms in a novel manner, thus building upon and extending works available in literature. The approach allows a human operator to command and telexist with the robot. Therefore, in this work we treat aspects pertaining not only to the proposed architecture structure and implementation, but also the human operator experience in terms of ability to adapt to the robot and to the architecture. The proprioception aspects and embodiment of the robot are studied through specific exper- imental results, which are treated in a high-level manner. Application of the proposed architecture and experiments incorporating user train- ing and experience are addressed using an illustrative bipedal humanoid robot, namely the iCub robot. Keywords: Teleoperation, Humaniods, Telexistance 1 Introduction With the advancements in the field of robotics, teleoperation is no longer seen just as a mean of manipulating a device remotely, but also as a possible mean for telexistence, i.e. giving a real-time sensation to a human being to be in another place, strictly speaking in the context we are considering, a place in the real arXiv:1809.01578v2 [cs.RO] 4 Apr 2019 world.

  • Locomotion and Telepresence in Virtual and Real Worlds
    Locomotion and Telepresence in Virtual and Real Worlds Alessandro Spada, Marco Cognetti, Alessandro De Luca Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica, Automatica e Gestionale Sapienza University of Rome, Italy {spada.aless}@gmail.com, {cognetti,deluca}@diag.uniroma1.it Abstract. We present a system in which a human master commands in a natural way the locomotion of a humanoid slave agent in a vir- tual or real world. The system combines a sensorized passive locomotion platform (Cyberith Virtualizer) for the walking human, the V-REP sim- ulation environment, an Aldebaran Nao humanoid robot with on-board vision, and a HMD (Oculus Rift) for visual feedback of the virtual or real scene. Through this bidirectional human-robot communication, the human achieves a telepresence that may be useful in different application domains. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the quality and limits of the achieved immersive experience for the user. Keywords: telerobotic systems, personal and entertainment robots 1 Introduction Nowadays technology allows a convergence of different, but related domains such as telerobotics [1], wearable haptics [2] and locomotion interfaces [3], virtual and augmented reality [4, 5], and human-robot cognitive and physical interaction [6]. As a result, real or virtual objects can be tele-manipulated by haptic interfaces with force feedback, visual and tactile human perception can be enhanced by augmented virtual features, remote navigation can be realized by transferring human locomotion, and so on. While the entertainment field remains a major market offering to the public new devices to enrich multimedia experience, new application areas such as search & rescue, medicine, or arts and cultural e-visits are emerging, in which the human user can benefit from interacting with a remote scene by seeing, feeling, manipulating, and moving freely inside of it.

    Department of Computer Science This thesis investigates challenges specific to VR software development, and explores 2A 0aD 6/l1tD o7 - A Toolkit for Virtual Reality methodology for such research. The thesis includes some of the earliest quantitative analysis on VR software development Software Development challenges, identifies the most severe Tuukka M. Takala development issues, and proposes solutions Investigating Challenges, Developers, and Users to them. This has implications on how VR software development could be eased. The analysis is based on data collected from 132 developers of VR application programs, which forms the backbone of the Tuukka M. Takala research. The thesis introduces RUIS, a software toolkit for facilitating hobbyist innovation by simplifying the development of VR application programs that rely on immersive displays and spatial interaction devices. Case studies employing VR application programs created with RUIS are included, describing different ways how 3D user interfaces can affect the experience and performance of VR software users.

  • Hardware and Software Description of the Cyberith Virtualizer and Its Possible Applications
    Elective in Robotics: Module of Locomotion and haptic interfaces for VR exploration Hardware and software description of the Cyberith Virtualizer and its possible applications Mario Muscio 22 June 2016 Contents 1 Introduction 3 2 The Cyberith Virtualizer 4 2.1 Thedevice.................................... 4 2.2 Hardware and Assembly . 5 2.3 SoftwareInterface ............................... 8 3 Testing the device and Application 10 3.1 Tests....................................... 10 3.2 Applications . 12 4 Conclusion and final considerations 13 2 1 Introduction One of the topics in the haptic and locomotion interfaces field is the motion control. The devices involved in the motion control are usually the treadmills. A special type of treadmill is the omnidirectional treadmill (ODT) that allows a person to run and walk in any direction, as opposed to the traditional treadmills that only goes one way. There exist two ways to create a omnidirectional treadmill: Passive Method. The human body moves while the device is fixed, i.e. Virtuix • Omni, Cyberith Virtualizer. Active Method. Much more complex than passive one. Using an active unit, the • device respond to player’s movement by moving a surface below player’s feet. The surface moves as player walks by keeping him to the center of the surface itself. In the passive method the player needs a harness and/or footwear, while in the active method does not. An active treadmill provides better simulation since it is capable of much more than a passive one, but is too expansive and complex. The treadmills can be used for lots of applications. Most mentioned application is the VR simulation.
