With the evolution of robotic technology, the expansion of operations into challenging environments underscores the growing need for effective teleoperation systems. In such an environment, robots or machines can improve the efficiency and safety of tasks by delivering more detailed and accurate information to workers through virtual reality (VR). Current teleoperation systems have limitations in providing a comprehensive understanding of the work environment. Accordingly, this study proposes a technology that utilizes VR to provide a high level of telepresence to workers and enable intuitive control. To achieve this, we introduce a pregenerated computer-assisted design model for static objects beyond the viewing area of RGB-D cameras and a method to update the point cloud of the target objects, which are dynamic objects, in real-time. By incorporating this information, we created a 3D visual map and delivered it to the operator in real-time through HMD, enabling the operator to clearly recognize the robot’s current location and surroundings. In addition, we introduced hand motion recognition through HMD viewpoints and VR controllers, allowing the operator to intuitively control the robot. These techniques can improve the efficiency and safety of remote work.
In this paper, when the finishing process is performed on the additive by FDM type, the optimal parameter set of the additive-finishing design parameters to improve the surface quality and the verification of the finishing effect are described. Additive design parameters such as nozzle diameter and layer height and finishing design parameters such as depth of cut and feed rate have a significant influence on the printing time and surface roughness of the sculpture. So, we define the major additive-finishing design parameters expected to affect the results. So, we define the major additive-finishing design variables that expected to affect the experimental results. And to confirm how much they affect the results with the minimum number of experiments, the sensitivity analysis of the design parameters was performed through the level average analysis of the Taguchi method. As a result, compared to the surface roughness and additive time when only high-quality sculpture was performed, and it was confirmed that the printing time improved up to 70% and the surface roughness improved up to 87% for the additive-finishing sculpture performed with the optimal combination of design parameters.

Recently, as various damages are expected due to the risk of falling space debris, many studies are being carried out to acquire space object information. In this research, an optical-based space object surveillance system was developed to acquire information about space objects. To acquire orbit information by photographing a space object with this system, the accuracy of position data of the space object is important. The telescope coordinate is located in the 2D CCD plane of the telescope, and the space objects are in the celestial coordinate. The two coordinates have a non-linear relation caused by a deflection of the mechanical system, a scattering of the atmosphere and so on. In this study, we propose an alignment method for two coordinate systems. First, a model that analyzes the geometric relation between the telescope system on earth and space objects is explained. Then, we also propose a second model with the addition of correction parameters. As a result of performing coordinate alignment according to the method and procedure proposed in this study, the pointing accuracy is lowered below 3 arcsec.
