The work
I developed a robot telepresence simulation using the Oulu campus virtual environment. It supported comparisons between unwound and coupled rotations before moving the research into a physical robot setup.
Project contributions & outcomes
- Connected Unity and ROS 2 across Windows and Linux using TCP/IP.
- Integrated DWB local planning and A* path planning for navigation and obstacle avoidance.
- Supported VR studies and questionnaires about comfort and the remote experience.
