Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system, method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for teleoperation. An exemplary system includes a robot machine having a machine body, at least one sensor, at least one robot processor, and at least one user processor operable to maintain a user simulation model of the robot machine and the environment surrounding the robot machine, the at least one user processor being remote from the robot machine. The system further includes at least one user interface comprising a haptic user interface operable to receive user commands and to transmit the user commands to the user simulation model, a display operable to display a virtual representation of the user simulation model.

A method, apparatus and a system are disclosed for robotic programming. In at least one embodiment of a method for robotic programming, the method includes receiving, from a controller of a robot, movement parameters reflecting movement of the robot manipulated by a user; making a first data model of a robot move, according to the movement parameters; calculating, upon the first data model touching a second data model of a virtual object, parameters of a first force to be fed back to the user for feeling touch by the robot on a physical object corresponding to the virtual object; and sending the parameters of the first force to the controller of the robot, to drive the robot to feed back the first force to the user.

Described is system for tele-robotic operations over time-delayed communication links. Sensor data is acquired from at least one sensor for sensing surroundings of a robot having at least one robotic arm for manipulating an object. A three-dimensional model of the sensed surroundings is generated, and the sensor data is fit to the three-dimensional model. Using the three-dimensional model, a user demonstrates a movement path for the at least one robotic arm. A flow field representing the movement path is generated and combined with obstacle-repellent forces to provide force feedback to the user through a haptic device. The flow field comprises a set of parameters, and the set of parameters are transmitted to the robot to execute a movement of the at least one robotic arm for manipulating the object.

A computer implemented method for updating a scene representation model is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining a scene representation model representing a scene having one or more objects, the scene representation model being configured to predict a value of a physical property of one or more of the objects; obtaining a value of the physical property of at least one of the objects, the obtained value being derived from a physical contact of a robot with the at least one object; and updating the scene representation model based on the obtained value. An apparatus is also disclosed.
