Abstract
Tele-existence is an advanced type of teleoperation system that enables a human operator to perform remote manipulation tasks dexterously with the feeling that he or she exists in the remote anthropomorphic robot in the remote environment.
In order to extend the function of a human, an extended tele-existence system with virtual reality technology was proposed. We improved our tele-existence experimental system and made an extended tele-existence experimental system with virtual environments for training of tasks. In this paper, the configuration of the system is reported. The performance of the system is evaluated by experimental operations.
