In this thesis, we design a VR user interface control system with virtual reality technology for mobile robot teleoperation. The architecture of our system is a client-server model. The VR client interface is based on desktop VR. The operator interacts with the virtual environment by inputting his commands with keyboard, mouse, spaceball, sensing glove and getting visual graphical feedback from the monitor by wearing a stereo-glasses. (The virtual environment is constructed with a ratio proportional to the real abbreviated artificial environment.) The VR client interface sends the command of the userto the server through the Internet, and the server gets the command to control the abbreviated mobile robot system in the artificial environment synchronously. After performing the operation, the server will return back the information of the artificial system for the VR client interface to refresh VR environment, and the operator will command newly according to the new situation of the virtual environment. In order to provide a more friendly input interface, we use "Back Propagation Neural Network" to deal with the learning and recognizing problems of the input gestures commands of the operator. Finally, we perform experiments to illustrate the advantage of the VR user interface control system of mobile robot teleoperation constructed with VR technology.
