Title:
- NavigaTorch: Projection-based Robot Control Interface using High-speed Handheld Projector
Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
We propose “NavigaTorch”, a projection-based robot control interface that enables the user to operate a robot quickly and intuitively.
The user can control and navigate a robot from the third-person viewpoint using the projected video as visual feedback by using a handheld pixel-level visible light communication (PVLC) projector.
