Robotic and remote system have been used in nuclear applications to keep the human workers from high radiation environment and enhance task performance. However, applications in the more unstructured nuclear environments present more formidable challenges to robotics and remote systems. In particular, remote operation tasks for nuclear facility D and D (or dismantling) requires dexterous manipulation of heavy objects with simple and rugged robotic equipment. To address such challenge, this paper presents a new teleoperation method of augmented teleautonomy for remote operation of tools for D and D tasks. Rather than imposing complex functionalities on the slave robot, focused innovation is directed to providing effective operator aids in such a way as to draw more performance out of human operators. In this regard, the development entails the implementation of an enhanced telerobotic operation method by incorporating multi-modal augmented reality operator aids and autonomous motion primitives. This paper presents the relevant technology development utilizing a mixed-reality telerobotic test bed, and system integration and demonstration with a rugged, hydraulic slave robot system.
