AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional remote operation systems for work machines experience delays due to the time required to generate and transmit composite image data, leading to latency in displaying images in remote operation rooms.
Method used
The system transmits imaging data and terrain shape data separately and in parallel from the work machine to an external device, allowing for the generation of augmented reality images based on terrain shape data while capturing images, reducing the overall transmission time.
Benefits of technology
This approach significantly reduces latency by completing the transmission and generation of composite images more quickly, enhancing real-time remote operation capabilities.

Abstract
The aim is to reduce latency. [Solution] A remote control system for a work machine, comprising a remotely controlled work machine and a control device for remotely controlling the work machine, wherein the work machine transmits data indicating the shape of the terrain acquired by the work machine to the control device within the transmission time of the image data acquired by the imaging device of the work machine from the work machine to the control device.
