Abstract:

A robot teleoperation system based on dynamic self-organizing network is studied and designed to address the characteristics of severe physical shielding, complex emergency response conditions, and unclear operation objects at nuclear accident sites. A spatial gradient based artificial potential field force guidance algorithm is proposed using virtual models superimposed on real backhaul videos while maintaining good communication in a ad-hoc network's real-time Mesh. Operators can improve operational efficiency and telepresence under time delay conditions by observing changes in the model in the visual interaction system and feeling the guiding force applied to the self-developed main hand. The experiment shows that under nuclear radiation conditions, the communication delay of the teleoperation system at 130 m is below 30 ms, which can meet the bandwidth requirements of video transmission. The experiment of obstacle avoidance and grasping guided by force guidance is verified the feasibility of the algorithm and the engineering practicality of the teleoperation system. Therefore, the robot teleoperation system based on dynamic self-organizing network designed in this article can enable operators to participate in the teleoperation system in a more intuitive and natural way, effectively improving the safety and operational performance of operators in completing complex teleoperation tasks.
