Abstract

Tele-operating robots' team is a way to increase tasks type and complexity, the working space size and to improve the remote interactions robustness. These interesting potentialities have a counterpart in terms of human robots interface. Indeed, we increase the complexity of the system and users must handle heterogeneous entities with different intrinsic mobility and sensing capabilities: tele-operators make integration and prediction efforts, firstly to built the remote world status and secondly to generate the right commands to be sent to the robots. In this paper, we present the platform we are developing to allow multi-robots tele-operation based tasks. The main aim of this platform is to support investigations about Human Multi-robots interfaces. Namely, to conduct studies concerning the integration of virtual and augmented reality technologies to reduce operators mental efforts. A description of this system is given. We present preliminary results in executing a simple scenario allowing to a single operator to supervise a given area.
