Visual Feedback Tele-Operation Systems for Robot Manipulation Using 3D-Printing

Robot manipulation has attracted considerable attention in the development of robotic intelligence due to its high applicability in real-world industries. In particular, the importance of visual feedback teleoperation is increasingly emphasized in robotic manipulation because of its potential hazards in industrial manufacturing environments. Teleoperation for robotic manipulation helps manufacturing engineers inspect their workspace safely. In order to check the work environment remotely, the visual information should be transmitted to engineers. In addition, it can be employed for data collection to facilitate the development of imitation learning. In this paper, we propose a visual feedback teleoperation approach for robotic manipulation using 3D printing technology. By sharing the robot's view through visual SLAM and employing ROS2, the actual robot manipulation can be achieved in a manner that replicates the movements of the 3D printed object.
