Resumen

The development of Human-Machine Interfaces(HMIs) capable of visualising real-time processed data fromrobotic systems is of essential importance today. These graphicaluser interfaces play a crucial role in the smooth and efficientinteraction between humans and robots, resulting in a signif-icant improvement in the productivity and safety of variousindustrial and scientific applications. In this context, the presentwork addresses the design and development of an innovativehuman-machine interface for real-time 2D Light Detection andRanging (LiDAR) based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM). Such interface has been implemented in MATLAB andestablishes an effective communication with the Robot OperatingSystem (ROS) environment. Its straightforward design, plannedfor real-time teleoperation, facilitates the acquisition and analysisof data from sensors and actuators of a robotic system. The real-time processing of the data supports computationally expensivetasks, such as those associated with SLAM processing. Indeed,feature extraction for environment mapping from 2D LiDAR datais one of its applications.
