MIT NETRA

MIT NETRA (Near-Eye Tool for Robotic Assistance) is a research project developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It is a head-mounted display system designed to provide robotic assistants with a first-person view (FPV) perspective, allowing a remote operator to see and interact with the robot's environment. The system aims to improve teleoperation and control of robots in complex or hazardous environments.

NETRA typically consists of a wearable device equipped with cameras and sensors that transmit visual and other sensory data to the remote operator. The operator can then use this information to guide the robot's actions and perform tasks remotely. The system may incorporate features like depth sensing, object recognition, and augmented reality to enhance situational awareness for the operator. Research using NETRA focuses on areas such as human-robot collaboration, remote manipulation, and situational awareness in teleoperation. It explores how the combination of wearable sensors and robotic platforms can facilitate more effective and intuitive remote interaction.
