A Robot simulator for experiencing virtual situations and phenomena in order to be proficient in robotic teleoperation

Kawabata, Kuniaki   

From the experiences in remote operations for the decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Stations, the skill for operating the robot remotely is an important factor to execute the task safety and steadily under the working environment with uncertainties. In order to contribute to operation proficiency training, we are developing technologies to provide remote operation experience virtually and also to generate digital contains based on collected sensory data. In this presentation, we introduce current development state of a robot simulator and 3D digital environmental model generation method from plural images. Also, we will show some demonstration movie of remote operation trials by using developed technologies.
