Abstract
In the case of earth-to-space teleoperation, communication time delay reduces the operator's ability significantly. To overcome this problem, a model based system was introduced. However, in such a system. the model accuracy seriously influences the results of the desired tasks. Therefore, the effective calibration techniques are highly demanded. This paper describes a practical calibration method of virtual environment models for space teleoperation using the stereo vision. The effectiveness of this calibration method is confirmed through experiments with a real telerobot system.
