Plus, it pretty much lets users control a robot from the inside of a simulated virtual cockpit. Likewise, the MIT CSAIL setup sets users up in a VR headset and places them in a virtual control room. In essence, it simulates placing the user inside the robot, which should be easier for humans to spatially comprehend than having their hand motions directly correspond to robot motions. The researchers designed the setup with manufacturing applications in mind.
