👨🏫 Authors: Paul Christopher Gloumeau: University of Manchester, Stephen Robert Pettifer: University of Manchester
📜 Abstract:
Teleoperation often requires significant skill, limiting its accessibility to average users. Challenges include delays between commands and robot responses, as well as frustration caused by rejected commands due to unattainable goals. Advances in virtual reality (VR) and inverse kinematics are improving usability but leave gaps in understanding robot capabilities and constraints. VR's customisable environments offer unique opportunities for enhanced feedback. This paper introduces three visual feedback techniques to inform users about their commands. A user study found that higher levels of visual feedback reduces task completion time, lowers mental workload, and improves user experience, making teleoperation more effective and accessible.
