Abstract—Teleoperation is used to extend human manipulation skills over an arbitrary distance and an arbitrary scale. In order to enhance this endeavor, the semiautonomous teleoperation bets on sharing the control between the operator and the computer programmed with algorithms. The inclusion of such algorithms in the teleoperation systems has created a multiple types of architectures and in this work is proposed a new architecture for semiautonomous teleoperation by using information from objects or obstacles in the remote location. Results given in this study are obtained by an algorithm for obstacle avoidance. This algorithm represents the autonomous decision-maker in real-time, while the operator remains in control of tasks unsolvable for machines. Here is shown that not only the time is saved but computational resources are also minimized and that safety of the cohabitation with robots is more possible.
