ROBOT TELEOPERATIVO: Collaborative Cybernetic Systems for Immersive Remote Teleoperation

Remote robotic teleoperation is becoming vital in numerous fields, especially in hazardous environments where human safety is critical. In these scenarios, teleoperated robots are deployed to perform tasks, reducing human exposure to potential dangers. The “Robot Teleoperativo” project aimed to develop a novel, collaborative teleoperation hardware and software system dedicated to operating in hazard-prone environments, reducing risks to people’s safety and well-being. It employed, developed, and integrated advanced technologies in tele-locomotion, tele-manipulation, and remote human-robot interaction. This short paper provides an overview of the latest developments in the project and a preliminary system evaluation. The project has successfully demonstrated a teleoperation system that enables intuitive and immersive tele-locomotion, tele-manipulation, and remote human-robot interaction. The project showcases the potential for enhanced operator control and precision, offering a more natural and effective means of remote interaction in complex and hazardous environments.
