A Natural Interface for Remote Operation of Underwater Robots
Juan C. García,Bruno Patrao,Luis Almeida,Javier Perez,Paulo Menezes,Jorge Dias,Pedro J. Sanz +6 more
TL;DR: A user interface abstraction layer to enhance reconfigurability is introduced and a VR-based interface that utilizes immersive technologies to reduce user faults and mental fatigue is described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Improving robot teleoperation experience via immersive interfaces
TL;DR: This research develops and evaluates natural-based interfaces for immersive tele-operation and investigates approaches capable of inducing sensations of tele-presence in robotic tele-operations, indicating a decrease in cognitive workload with gains in task performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interface Transparency Issues in Teleoperation
TL;DR: A testbed is developed to study perceptual issues that affect task performance while users manipulated the environment either through traditional or immersive interfaces and results show that misalignments between the frame of reference for vision and motor-action or the use of tools affecting the sense of body position or movement have a higher effect on mental workload and spatial cognition.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Be the robot: Human embodiment in tele-operation driving tasks
TL;DR: The present study suggests that, when a person is focused on the task, achieving the ownership illusion towards remote body, there are autonomic responses that correspond to what would be expected in events that take place in reality (like avoiding collisions).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Towards natural interaction in immersive reality with a cyber-glove
TL;DR: A cyber-glove system that tracks wrist movements, hand orientation and finger movements provides a decoupled position of the wrist and hand, which can contribute to a better embodiment in interaction and manipulation tasks.
