Nonlinear control and geometric constraint enforcement for teleoperated task execution

Abstract

This work presents a multimodal teleoperation framework that makes use of novel tools and techniques, such as: nonlinear teleoperators control, for ensuring position tracking in the presence of variable time-delays; relational positioning, for increasing operator performance on precise movement execution by visually and haptically displaying geometric constraints; and augmented reality, for visually combining real and virtual information in a compelling way. Experimental evidence is presented that validates the aptitude of the different components of the proposed framework.
