Assisted Teleoperation

Assisted teleoperation enhances human control of robots by integrating automated assistance, aiming to improve efficiency, safety, and precision in remote operations. Current research focuses on developing shared control frameworks using biomechanical models, dynamical systems learned from demonstrations, and control barrier functions to ensure safe and accurate execution, particularly in tasks involving precise orientation and constrained environments. These advancements are improving the feasibility and scalability of teleoperation across diverse applications, from minimally invasive surgery and data collection to the remote control of mobile robots, with a growing emphasis on ensuring security and auditability through blockchain integration.
