  • Publication number: 20220220706
    Abstract: Provided is a system which can supply appropriate information to one operator from a viewpoint that the one operator grasps a remotely operational mode for a working machine by the other operator. In a first remote operation apparatus 10, a passive mode detector 112 detects a passive mode of a first operation mechanism 111, and transmits operational mode data corresponding to the passive mode. In a second remote operation apparatus 20, an operation of an actuator 212 is controlled in accordance with the passive mode of the first operation mechanism 111 in response to the operational mode data, and thereby, a second operation mechanism 211 actively operates.

  • Publication number: 20220213666
    Abstract: According to the remote operation system or a remote operation server 20 included in the remote operation system, when the “environment information control process” is performed, a data amount of environment data is reduced such that the reduction in the information amount of one or a plurality of low environment information factors is greater than the reduction in the information amount of one or a plurality of high environment information factors (meaning the reduction in the information amount of the environment information due to a change in the environment information factor). The environment information control process is performed by classifying the environment information factors into the high environment information factor and the low environment information factor according to a difference in the operation state.
