VR Teleoperation System Debuts in Russia
Russian developers have created a system that replicates human movements in real time and transmits them to a machine. Distributor Robort by 3Logic Group has brought the solution to the Russian market.
The setup is straightforward: an operator wears a VR headset and sees through the robot’s perspective, with onboard cameras streaming video with minimal latency. The system tracks the operator’s hand and head movements in real time and converts them into commands for the robot’s actuators. This is handled by inverse kinematics algorithms, which instantly translate motion coordinates into machine-readable instructions.
Deployment is relatively simple: it requires a robot, a VR headset and a Wi-Fi router, with no separate computer needed. The VTS (Virtual Teleoperation System) is compatible with Unitree robots, including humanoid models G1 and H1, as well as quadruped platforms Go2 and B2.
The technology has a wide range of applications, including inspection of hazardous sites, operations in areas inaccessible to humans and remote presence. It can also be used to train artificial intelligence systems, as neural networks observe a human operator’s actions and learn to replicate them independently.
