As a graduate intern in the i-Botics group (Intelligent Imaging), I developed and validated a VR mediated teleoperation framework. This framework is used in human-robot teleoperation and utilizes a Virtual Reality (VR) environment. Using this VR environment, we combine telepresence and teleoperation for intuitive operation of a robot arm (KUKA LBR iiwa 7). We proved that the framework was intuitive and resulted in high performance for novel (tele)operators.
