Abstract
Our research objective is construction of 3D map and development of its practical applications. As an application, the authors had proposed 3D control interface for an operator who controls remote control robot. It is well know that an operator can control a robot easily using bird's-eye view. Using 3D control interface, an operator can control the robot at bird's-eye view. The bird's-eye view is constructed from 3D map and robot model. The operator can recognize relationship between the robot and the environment from 3D map and robot model following real robot motion. In this paper, we will describe 3D control interface and its implementation for HELIOS carrier. We will show an experimental result of 3D control interface. From result, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method.
