Abstract
This paper focuses on developing a virtually controlled robot by integrating Virtual Reality (VR) and Robot Operating System (ROS). Robots can be used in certain environments where humans cannot be physically present to undertake a task. To increase the safety of humans, controlling a robot virtually is one of the best solutions. This paper shows how the VR-controlled manipulator will help in different fields like hazardous environments, underwater research, and the medical field for surgical operations. Unity 3D is used to develop the virtual environment, and ROS is used for communication with the physical robot. A Virtual environment would be developed where an exact robot (URDF) model can be designed. The interaction with the virtual environment is done with the help of VR headsets and controllers. ROS acts as the communication bridge between virtual and physical robots. A prototype has been developed to be controlled through virtual controllers that can interact through ROS.
