Invited presentation by Harsimran Singh, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Germany:
Exploiting Decades of Teleoperation Research for Advancing Human-Robot Collaboration beyond Transparency
 |
Harsimran Singh received the B.Tech. degree in electrical and electronics engineering from the Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology, India in 2009, the M.Sc. degree in robotics from the University of the West of England, U.K., in 2012, and the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the Korea University of Technology and Education, South Korea, in 2017. He is currently a Research Scientist with the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at German Aerospace Center (DLR), Germany. His current research interests include control and stability in robotics, haptics, teleoperation, and shared autonomy. |
This talk will focus on the advancements in teleoperation and command technology enhancing human-robot interaction, emphasizing increased precision and safety. Key factors in designing bilateral, multilateral, and shared autonomy controllers include robust stability, safety, and transparency while safeguarding both the operator and the robotic system. This talk will delve into these aspects, presenting methods and experiments from space, ground assistance and humanitarian applications, demonstrating how teleoperation can bridge human-robot interactions in diverse applications. It will be shown that teleoperation needs to go beyond transparency to improve performance and extend its applicability, redefining the boundaries of teleoperation systems.
