Immersive robot teleoperation through a real time updating virtual reality environment

With the arrival of Industry 4.0 there have been rapid advancements in the field of collaborative robots. Similarly the last decade has seen major advances in affordable Virtual Reality (VR) technologies. Our ambition is to utilise these technological advancements in combination with additional sensory equipment for the ongoing development of a VR teleoperation system. The proposed system is one wherein an operator, controlling from a VR environment, can reliably and intuitively perform a dual arm manipulation task at a remote location
