Abstract
This paper presents Avatar-Drone to advance aerial manipulation. The mobile-manipulating drone is a haptics-based human-in-the-loop platform. This is married to an immersive framework based on Unity and virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality. The net effect provides the operator a sense of presence and see, hear, and feel what the drone is doing in the work environment. Two scenarios involving package delivery illustrate efficacy of this marriage.
