Abstract
Recently, teleoperated robots are expected to do search and rescue activities in a disaster area. The usual teleoperation system of robot relies on camera images. However, it is difficult to get an effective camera image in a confined space and it forces a large burden on the operator. In this study, a teleoperation system to get an effective camera image automatically is proposed in order to reduce the operator's burden. Our system shifts camera's position automatically on the basis of information about obstacles surrounding a robot. At first, in order to understand which kind of camera images are effective in a confined space, we carry out the experiment with a simulator. Secondly, we carry out the experiment to verify the effectiveness of our proposed system based on the results of the first experiment.
