Remote machinery maintenance system with the use of virtual reality

Abstract

The use of robots for fault diagnosis and maintenance operations is being more widely used. Robot control is generally done by teleoperation, which still has many weak points. To solve these problems, we use virtual reality techniques. We conceive a system for collecting vibration data using remote robot control by a virtual designed model. With our model we can manipulate both the machine to be checked, and the robot. In our 3D model the data collection points are very well known. This will assure precision in data collection. Our system assure good remote maintenance and fault diagnosis not only in dangerous places, but also in ordinary cases.
