Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a virtual reality interface operable to control a robot system by an operator are disclosed. In some embodiments, the robot system is provided on a boom of an aerial device. The robot system is operable to carry out instructions for performing work-related tasks in a work environment. An operator may interact with a virtual reality system providing the virtual reality interface to operate the robot system. The virtual reality interface may provide various menus and icon features that, when selected, cause display of menus and functions of the virtual reality interface. The virtual reality interface may provide a list of tasks to be performed and instructions to perform those tasks. In some embodiments, the icon features are presented based on the tasks to be performed and selection of the icon features initiates automated actions of the robot system to perform certain tasks.
