Abstract

Currently, inspection of remote environments poses potential hazards to the human operator. Mixed reality presents the unique opportunity for the human operators & the piloted robots to co-exist within a virtual world that is then spatially mapped to the physical world. This can then act as a platform to conduct remote inspection, where the human operators could potentially possess heightened situational awareness and control.
