AsianFin -- Hangzhou-based Unitree Robotics Co., Ltd. has published a patent for an “immersive robot teleoperation method and system,” according to a filing made public recently.
The patent abstract notes that existing teleoperation solutions often lack effective and timely feedback, suffer from poor intuitiveness, and deliver low control precision, making them unsuitable for complex and delicate tasks.
Unitree’s invention addresses these shortcomings by introducing a multi-model framework that includes: a first-person mapping model, interaction data acquisition model, teleoperation processing model, execution perception model, and immersive perspective simulation model.
Together, these models allow operators’ posture and movements to be mapped in real time, generating responsive 3D images viewable through VR equipment. This setup creates a first-person immersive feedback mechanism, enabling operators to feel as though they are physically present while performing tasks.
The company says the system improves immersion, intuitiveness, and natural interaction, thereby significantly enhancing manipulation capabilities and task execution outcomes.
