Abstract

This work introduces a solution to enhance human-robot interaction over limited wireless connectivity. The goal is toenable remote control of a robot through a virtual reality (VR)interface, ensuring a smooth transition to autonomous mode in the event of connectivity loss. The VR interface provides accessto a dynamic 3D virtual map that undergoes continuous updatesusing real-time sensor data collected and transmitted by therobot. Furthermore, the robot monitors wireless connectivity and automatically switches to a autonomous mode in scenarios with limited connectivity. By integrating four key functionalities: real-time mapping, remote control through glasses VR, continuous monitoring of wireless connectivity, and autonomous navigation during limited connectivity, we achieve seamless end-to-end operation.
