Design of a Hyper-Redundant Robot and Teleoperation Using Mixed Reality for Inspection Tasks.

ABSTRACT: Hyper-redundant robots are highly articulated devices that present numerous technical challenges such as their design, control or remote operation. However, they offer superior kinematic skills than traditional robots for multiple applications. This work proposes an original and custom-made design for a discrete and hyper-redundant manipulator. It is comprised of 7 sections actuated by cables and 14 degrees of freedom. It has been optimized to be very robust, accurate and capable of moving payloads with high dexterity. Furthermore, it has been efficiently controlled from the actuators to high-level strategies based on the management of its shape. However, these highly articulated systems often exhibit complex shapes that frustrate their spatial understanding. Immersive technologies emerge as a good solution to remotely and safely teleoperate the presented robot for an inspection task in a hazardous environment. Experimental results validate the proposed robot design and control strategies. As a result, it is concluded that hyper-redundant robots and immersive technologies should play an important role in the near future of automated and remote applications.

Project description:Interventions: Group 1: The Remote Assist application allows discussion or collaboration in teams with a shared view of a patient-specific case. A post-market follow-up (PMCF) observation will confirm the safety as well as an acceptable benefit/risk ratio of the tool in different scenarios. Instead of the telephone or other means of communication, remote assist via VSI HoloMedicine of the MS Team tool will be used in three different scenarios. The following scenarios are evaluated: Adding to the operating room (Whipple) (n=3), indication discussion with collegium (n=3), and emergency department support (ileus, cholelithiasis, appendicitis). The purpose of this qualitative study is to evaluate the teams use of VSI HoloMedicine, in the context of surgery, physician on-call, and the emergency department for the following purposes. Evaluate: Confirm the performance of the teams integration of VSI HoloMedicine (remote assist / 3D hologram / streaming / voice quality). Deployment in different scenarios (OR / emergency / on-call) in terms of remote collaboration. Evaluation of usability, advantages and disadvantages Confirmation of the safety of the medical device Satisfaction of the users Observation of any unforeseen risks related to the function, Ensuring continued acceptance of the risk-benefit ratio. Measurement of mental workload (NASA-TLX). Primary outcome(s): The Remote Assist application enables discussion or collaboration in teams with a shared view of a patient-specific case.

Project description:Mixed reality (MR) enables a novel way to visualize virtual objects on real scenarios considering physical constraints. This technology arises with other significant advances in the field of sensors fusion for human-centric 3D capturing. Recent advances for scanning the user environment, real-time visualization and 3D vision using ubiquitous systems like smartphones allow us to capture 3D data from the real world. In this paper, a disruptive application for assessing the status of indoor infrastructures is proposed. The installation and maintenance of hidden facilities such as water pipes, electrical lines and air conditioning tubes, which are usually occluded behind the wall, supposes tedious and inefficient tasks. Most of these infrastructures are digitized but they cannot be visualized onsite. In this research, we focused on the development of a new application (GEUINF) to be launched on smartphones that are capable of capturing 3D data of the real world by depth sensing. This information is relevant to determine the user position and orientation. Although previous approaches used fixed markers for this purpose, our application enables the estimation of both parameters with a centimeter accuracy without them. This novelty is possible since our method is based on a matching process between reconstructed walls of the real world and 3D planes of the replicated world in a virtual environment. Our markerless approach is based on scanning planar surfaces of the user environment and then, these are geometrically aligned with their corresponding virtual 3D entities. In a preprocessing phase, the 2D CAD geometry available from an architectural project is used to generate 3D models of an indoor building structure. In real time, these virtual elements are tracked with the real ones modeled by using ARCore library. Once the alignment between virtual and real worlds is done, the application enables the visualization, navigation and interaction with the virtual facility networks in real-time. Thus, our method may be used by private companies and public institutions responsible of the indoor facilities management and also may be integrated with other applications focused on indoor navigation.
