Visual Assist by Drone-based Wrap-around Moving Viewpoint Display for Teleoperated Construction Robot

—Comparison of Work Accuracy and Mental Load by Methods of Moving Viewpoints—

Abstract

This paper describes the drone-based visual assist system for the teleoperated construction robot. The drone hovers at the side or front of the construction robot to capture images of the work area. The operator switches the drone's hover position by operating a switch. If many hover positions are set, the operator can determine the drone position in detail, but the operational burden may increase. This paper proposed several combinations of hover positions and compared them experimentally.
