Implementation of spatial visualization for a tele-operated robot in a complex and hazardous environment

It is very important that environment information is delivered quickly and clearly to the operator for the right management of a tele-operated robot system. This paper set a goal of visualization of spatial information to help the accurate control of a tele-operator in a complex and/or hazardous environment. The spatial visualization was divided into two parts, object visualization and ROI (Region Of Interest) visualization, and implemented. The experiment results show that this implementation is useful for the environment which a tele-operator rarely recognizes the status of that space.
