Abstract
We developed an interface to improve operability of teleoperated robot and operator's recognition capability of environment of remote place. We developed 3D map creation method with "Kinect sensor" for teleoperation. This map provides information of distance to obstacles and position of the teleoperated robot. A user, although he is not an expert is able to understand environment around the teleoperated robot with the proposed method. Real time 3-Dimensional map is created by SLAM that using color image and depth image from Kinect Sensor. In this paper, the results of real time 3D map creation method by kinect to improve user's environmental cognition is shown.
