Abstract
This paper describes the enhanced teleoperation in order to improve productivity while reducing risk to human workers from hazardous environment in Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D) tasks. Due to the difficulty of perceiving the three-dimensional environment with two-dimensional video display, one of the most difficult tasks is to place the tool on the target objects while maintaining proper alignment. To alleviate such difficulty and thus enhance the performance of such three-dimensional tasks, this paper presents the implementation of 'virtual fixture', which may provide passive constraint to the motion of the human operator during teleoperation. Virtual fixtures are implemented first by visually, and then haptical fixture was implemented adopting a proprietary Cobot technology. In this preliminary study, it was found that the virtual fixtures could improve accuracy and time for performing the tasks.
