Abstract:
For teleoperation of (multiple) mobile robot(s), a better situational awareness of remote environments is crucial for good performance. Visual and haptic feedback are the most common ways to perceive the environments accurately using a vision system and a haptic device, respectively. In this talk, I will present benefits and effects of visual and haptic feedback on performance (especially, from human perspective) in teleoperation of multiple mobile robots (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)). In details, the following three issues will be described with results by several psychophysical studies in the field of bilateral teleoperation of multiple mobile robots: 1) the contribution of force feedback to human performance; 2) the design and evaluation of haptic cueing to increase human operator's performance; and 3) the effect of visual feedback on human's situational awareness in outdoor environment.
