This paper presents a new approach to applications of augmented reality techniques for performing telerobotic operations in uncertain and hazardous environments. Particular application examples include remote or partially-automated operation of robotic manipulators in nuclear waste facilities, decommissioning sites, or as a part of incident remediation. Recently advances in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology presents opportunity for enhancing the performance of such remote operations. VR can provide immersive artificial environment for the operator to interact with. As an advanced concept, AR adds to it the blending or artificial contents with real world - users are able to interact with virtual contents in the real world. This work addresses key technological innovations necessary for adopting the VR/AR technologies for the remote operation of hardware robotic systems in real world tasks. To this end, this work focuses on implementation of 'virtual fixtures', which allows intuitive and precise guidance of remote operation, as well as key enhancements in 3D sensing/reconstruction technology. In addition, the implementation details of the integration of the multi-modal augmented reality system to the telerobotic control system are presented. (authors)
