Abstract

This paper proposes the use of optical flow from
a moving robot to provide force feedback to
an operator’s joystick to facilitate collision free
teleoperation. Optical flow is measured by a
pair of wide angle cameras on board the vehicle
and used to generate a virtual environmental
force that is reflected to the user through
the joystick, as well as feeding back into the
control of the vehicle. We show that the proposed
control is dissipative and prevents the
vehicle colliding with the environment as well
as providing the operator with a natural feel
for the remote environment. Experimental results
are provided on the InsectBot holonomic
vehicle platform.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
