Immersive VR interface for informationally structured environment

摘要

This paper presents a new immersive VR interface bridging cyber and physical worlds for Cyber Physical System (CPS). Informationally structured environment (ISE) has been proposed in service robotics so far. In ISE, environmental information such as positions of objects, furniture, humans, and robots is gathered by embedded sensor networks and stored in a database structurally. A service robot is able to utilize these information anytime and anywhere by connecting to the network. In this paper, we introduce the ISE architecture named ROS-TMS and a new cyber-physical interface for ROS-TMS. The proposed system consists of an immersive wearable display, a stereo camera, an optical tracking system, and an environmental simulator, and is able to present forecasted images with high reality based on the structured information in ISE.
