Abstract:
Abstract—Hazardous materials incident responding and explosive
ordnance disposal (EOD) are two of mobile manipulators’ most common deployment areas. Most of the time, these incidents happen in open environments and even ruin structures. Therefore, teleoperation is still the dominant robot control method. However, a direct line of sight can be limited. This study includes an experiment demonstrating a virtual reality device application in a real-world mobile manipulator EOD mission. The result support the feasibility of teleoperating a mobile manipulator
using VR to complete complex missions.
