Shared Autonomy for Remote Collaboration (SHARC) enables remote scientists to participate in shipboard operations via a VR or desktop interface. The system coordinates data sharing and planning for remotely operated semi-autonomous robotics with low bandwidth communications constraints. It is particularly useful in complex or hazardous environments where safety and speed of operation are important components. Implementation of SHARC allows multiple users at different locations to collaborate and plan manipulation tasks in a 3D representation of the workspace.
