MY PUBLICATION

Built to Order: A Virtual Reality Interface for Assigning High-Level Assembly
Goals to Remote Robots
SUI '23: Proceedings of the 2023 ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction
https://doi.org/10.1145/3607822.3618005
We developed a user interface that simplifies the control of robots in
manufacturing environments by utilizing Virtual Reality (VR). This allows users
to assign and monitor high-level, goal-based instructions for remote assembly
tasks, thereby circumventing the need for extensive, robot-specific training.
