Visual guidance system for remote-operation

This paper presents the method to generate visual information to control robot manipulator in remote-site. Unlike the existing method, the proposed method uses Kinectfusion method for reconstructing a dense 3D environment. Based on the 3D data, we propose a visual guidance system such as guideline for alignment, auto-zooming and multi-view function. Then, we apply our method to hydraulic robot manipulator operating. We demonstrate that our visual guidance can help the operator to control the robot arm.
