61. Virtual Reality Abdication: Systems for Robotic Teleoperation in Space and Other Dangerous Domains
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionRobots are being utilized in many different ways in today’s society. Teleoperated robots are robots that can be controlled from a distance. This is commonly done with remote controllers
while observing the robot through a screen, but using virtual reality (VR) is also a possibility (Hetrick et al., 2020; Whitney, Rosen, Ullman, Phillips, & Tellex, 2018). VR teleoperation has
many benefits, but if a robot is operating in a dangerous environment, as is one of the main applications for these types of robots, the feeling of immersion caused by VR may be prob-
lematic. If the operator feels they themselves are in danger, that may negatively impact their performance (Shin, Lee, Song, & Chung, 2021). The objective of the current paper is to introduce
the concept VR Abdication (VRA) as a potential solution to this problem.
