A Mixed Reality Approach to Robotic Inspection of Remote Environments

Currently, inspection of remote environments poses potential hazards to the human operator. Mixed reality presents the unique opportunity for the human operators & the piloted robots to co-exist within a virtual world that is then spatially mapped to the physical world. This can then act as a platform to conduct remote inspection, where the human operators could potentially possess heightened situational awareness and control.
