LIDAR-based teleoperation 🚗
https://ouster.com/blog/teleoperation...
In this project we examine questions regarding vehicle teleoperation. This means that we control a vehicle remotely while wirelessly accessing its on-board sensor data. Teleoperation is traditionally done based with camera image. In addition, we are also investigating the application of LIDAR sensors. LIDAR distance measurements might be very useful for a remote driver. The operator’s user interface not only present momentary states of the measurement but it also displays an entire map based on past measurements. This approach is prototyped on our Nissan electric test vehicle, and we also intend to use it on a light armored safety- and security-purpose vehicle.
The Vehicle Industry Research Center has been working since May 2011 in Győr, Hungary, Europe at the Széchenyi University. Understanding and researching how people and vehicles cooperate is an essential skill when designing the future of traffic. We believe that fully self-driving (a.k.a. autonomous) technology can lead to safe, easy, and sustainable transportation. We are preparing for this new technology-to-come by studying and researching its fundamentals and exploring the possibilities it offers. This process helps us gain unique knowledge on the mixed field of mechatronics, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Future transportation can be safe, easy, and sustainable without compromises.
