Original Kurzfassung:
Teleoperation of robotic systems has been shown to improve with high levels of embodiment, particularly when operators experience an intuitive connection between their movements and the actions of the robot. This seminar explores advanced teleoperation interfaces, developed in the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL, that enhance operator immersion and control across diverse robots. Wearable interfaces, such as the FlyJacket exoskeleton, enable users to control aerial robots through natural body motions, providing both kinesthetic and tactile feedback to improve awareness and precision while reducing strain. Personalized Body-Machine Interfaces (BoMIs) adapt to users' unique motor synergies, facilitating seamless control across different robot morphologies. Additionally, ongoing research examines First-Person View (FPV) perspectives for teleoperating aerial swarms, addressing the challenge of creating coherent perspectives within distributed systems to enhance engagement and task performance. Together, these technologies illustrate how immersive, body-driven teleoperation interfaces are advancing the future of intuitive and accessible robotic control.
