Abstract
This paper proposes a system to integrate virtual reality (VR) with a low-cost unmanned, semi-autonomous quad rotor. This quad rotor with a VR headset would allow for first-person vision and manipulation using the Robot Operating System. The system would enable the user to move the quad rotor remotely using natural head movements, which could be tracked by the VR headset and translated into six degrees of freedom commands that would then be sent to the quad rotor. This would facilitate operation when compared to commercially available controller methods, as it would immerse the user in the robot’s environment.
