In this paper, we present a targeted training approach for remote teleoperation aimed at achieving consistent proficiency levels across users with varying capabilities. Our approach begins by assessing users’ abilities to perform robot motion control, workspace adaptation, and gripper control. It th
When humans control or supervise remote robot manipulation, augmented reality (AR) visual cues overlaid on the remote camera video stream can effectively enhance human's remote perception of task and robot states, and comprehension of the robot autonomy's capability and intent. In this work, we cond…
This work compared human-robot shared and supervisory control of remote robots for dexterous manipulation, and examined how the reliability of robot autonomy affects human operator performance, workload, and preference for robot assistance. Specifically, we implemented two human-robot collaboration
Robot teleoperation via human motion tracking has been proven to be easy to learn, intuitive to operate, and facilitate faster task execution than existing baselines. However, precise control while performing the dexterous telemanipulation tasks is still a challenge. In this paper, we implement sens…
Motion tracking interfaces are intuitive for free-form teleoperation tasks. However, efficient manipulation control can be difficult with such interfaces because of issues like the interference of unintended motions and the limited precision of human motion control. The limitation in control efficie…
Robot teleoperation is a reliable way to perform a variety of tasks with complex robotic systems. However, the remote control of active telepresence cameras on the robot for improved telepresence adds an additional degree of complexity while teleoperating and can thus affect the operator’s performan…
Motion mapping is an intuitive method of teleoperation with a low learning curve. Our previous study investigates the physical fatigue caused by teleoperating a robot to perform general-purpose assistive tasks and this fatigue affects the operator's performance. The results from that study indicate…
Robot teleoperation via motion mapping has been demonstrated to be an efficient and intuitive approach for controlling and teaching the whole-body motion coordination of humanoid robots. However, the physical fatigue in the usage of such robot teleoperation interfaces may prevent this approach to be…
