TRAILS: Trajectory Generation for Automated Indoor Locomotion Studies
Juho Kalliokoski, Evan G. Center, Steven M. LaValle +2
Virtual reality experiments involving navigation and simulated robot motion often require large, realistic environments and numerous distinct trajectories to avoid repetitive navig…
Unwinding Rotations Reduces VR Sickness in Nonsimulated Immersive Telepresence
Filip Kulisiewicz, Basak Sakcak, Evan G. Center +4
Immersive telepresence, when a user views the video stream of a camera in a remote environment using a Head Mounted Display (HMD), has great potential to improve the se…
Sharing but Not Caring: Similar Outcomes for Shared Control and Switching Control in Telepresence-Robot Navigation
Juho Kalliokoski, Evan G. Center, Steven M. LaValle +2
Telepresence robots enable users to interact with remote environments, but efficient and intuitive navigation remains a challenge. In this work, we developed and evaluated a shared…
Leaning-Based Control of an Immersive-Telepresence Robot
Joona Halkola, Markku Suomalainen, Basak Sakcak +5
In this paper, we present an implementation of a leaning-based control of a differential drive telepresence robot and a user study in simulation, with the goal of bringing the same…
A Study of Preference and Comfort for Users Immersed in a Telepresence Robot
Adhi Widagdo, Markku Suomalainen, Basak Sakcak +5
In this paper, we show that unwinding the rotations of a user immersed in a telepresence robot is preferred and may increase the feeling of presence or "being there". By immersive…
HI-DWA: Human-Influenced Dynamic Window Approach for Shared Control of a Telepresence Robot
Juho Kalliokoski, Basak Sakcak, Markku Suomalainen +4
This paper considers the problem of enabling the user to modify the path of a telepresence robot. The robot is capable of autonomously navigating to a goal predefined by the user,…
Unwinding Rotations Improves User Comfort with Immersive Telepresence Robots
Markku Suomalainen, Basak Sakcak, Adhi Widagdo +5
We propose unwinding the rotations experienced by the user of an immersive telepresence robot to improve comfort and reduce VR sickness of the user. By immersive telepresence we re…
