Multi-Camera Vision System for Tele-Robotics

A new monitoring system is proposed to give direct visual information of the remote site when working with a tele-operation system. In order to have a similar behavior of a human when he is inspecting an object, multiple cameras that have different view point are attached around the robot hand and are switched on and elf according to the operator´s motion such as joystick manipulation or operator´s head movement. The performance of the system is estimated by performing comparison experiments among single camera (SC) vision system, head mount display (HMD)system and proposed multiple camera (MC) vision system by applying a task to several examines. The reality, depth feeling and controllability are estimated for the examines ...
