Virtual reality controlled mobile robot

A control system for a remotely located portable metal working robot system, the control system comprising:

• a first control device to control a robot position manipulation system configured to control a position or an orientation of the remotely located portable metal working robot system wherein the first control device is configured to be manipulated by an operator;
• a second control device having a shape of a metal working tool, the second control device to generate inputs based on a simulated metal working process being performed by the operator, the inputs transmitted as control signals to the remotely located portable metal working robot system to control a multi-axis torch manipulation system configured to control a position or an orientation of a multi-axis torch of the remotely located portable metal working robot system, wherein the first and second control devices are configured to be manipulated by an operator;
• one or more display devices configured to display a virtual reality representation or an augmented reality representation of a metal working process being performed by the remotely located portable metal working robot system on one or more metal parts based on one or more inputs from the first or second control devices and on data from one or more sensors of the remotely located portable metal working robot system;
• and
• communication circuitry configured to:
• receive one or more inputs from the first or second control devices, the one or more inputs corresponding to a change in a position or an orientation of the remotely located portable metal working robot system or the multi-axis torch;
• transmit control signals corresponding to the one or more inputs to control the robot position manipulation system or the multi-axis torch manipulation system;
• and
• control the one or more display devices to display a virtual reality representation or an augmented reality representation of the metal working tool in response to the control signals.
