contents Teleoperating a robot arm involves the human operator positioning the robot's end-effector or programming each joint. Whereas humans can control their own arms easily by integrating visual and proprioceptive feedback, it is challenging to control an external robot arm in the same way, due to its inconsistent orientation and appearance. We explore teleoperating a robot arm through motion-capture (MoCap) of the human operator's arm with the assistance of augmented reality (AR) visualisations. We investigate how AR helps teleoperation by visualising a virtual reference of the human arm alongside the robot arm to help users understand the movement mapping. We found that the AR overlay of a humanoid arm on the robot in the same orientation helped users learn the control. We discuss findings and future work on MoCap-based robot teleoperation.
