This machine can be operated remotely through augmented reality.
When I dig, you dig—a robotic excavator follows the motions of a remote user to execute digging from afar.Digging in the dirt is tough business. An excavator will speed up the work, but operating one is tricky and requires years of experience. One that is operable remotely, and comes with an augmented reality system, could make the process easier, more convenient, safer—and, perhaps, more fun.
Traditional excavators have non-intuitive controllers. To move the scooper up and down, the operator needs to execute a right-left motion on the joysticks and levers from within the vehicle. “There’re so many joints, and they don’t really map up in the right direction,” says Brewer. “It gets so confusing.” Operators also need intensive training to learn how to dodge buried gas lines, water lines, and internet cables to make precise holes in the ground.
This “robotification kit,” as Brewer calls it, can be tacked onto any existing manual excavator to make it operable as if straight out of a video game. The researchers motorized all the levers and pedals in the machine, all which would be synced up to a handheld controller over the internet. Six overhead cameras atop the hood of the excavator provide remote users a 360-degree view of the field site.
