What is RidgeRun Immersive Teleoperation
 |
|
RidgeRun Immersive Teleoperation is a software platform that enables operators to remotely control robots while receiving low-latency, high-quality visual feedback. It supports both web-based interfaces and VR headsets, allowing users to interact with robots through a responsive browser UI or an immersive, in-person–like experience.
The platform supports multiple camera configurations, including single-camera and multi-camera setups that allow operators to switch between different cameras to obtain multiple points of view. Video is delivered using low-latency streaming technologies suitable for both web and immersive applications. In addition to video streaming, the system supports camera gimbal control, enabling operators to actively adjust the camera orientation during teleoperation.
By separating video delivery, command handling, and control enforcement, RidgeRun Immersive Teleoperation provides a flexible and scalable foundation for building teleoperated robotic systems across a wide range of use cases, including industrial inspection, mobile robotics, research, and immersive remote operation.
To support these capabilities, RidgeRun Immersive Teleoperation is built on a modular architecture that integrates a ROS2-based robot backend with web and VR-based operator interfaces, including support for Meta Quest 2 headsets. The following section describes the system architecture and explains how its main components interact.
