A Survey of User Interfaces for Robot Teleoperation
Paulo G de Barros

Robots are used today to accomplish many tasks in society, be it in industry, at home, or as helping tools on tragic incidents. The human-robot systems currently developed span a broad variety of applications and are typically very different from one another. The interaction techniques designed for each system are also very different, although some effort has been directed in defining common properties and strategies for guiding human-robot interaction (HRI) development.

Cognitive Telepresence in Human-Robot Interactions
V Manohar

Journal of Human-Robot Interaction, 2013

Remote teleoperation of advanced, semi-autonomous robotic technologies has great potential in many industries critical to the economy and for the environment of the Middle East. Applications include maintenance of underwater oil wells, maintenance of nuclear power plants, counter-terrorism and national defense, law enforcement, remote sensing, and health care. In each of these applications, a user, likely without technology expertise, must operate a complex robot in uncertain and unknown environments. The nature of the tasks and environments encountered by the robot in these applications make it highly likely that the robot's limited autonomy will fail or be insufficient to complete the desired task. In this paper, we argue that, in such scenarios, cognitive telepresence, defined as the ability of the user to comprehend and control the robot's cognition, is an important design principle for human-robot systems. We compare and contrast cognitive telepresence to existing design principles commonly discussed in the literature, and define various metrics of cognitive telepresence. Finally, via two illustrative examples and a user study, we demonstrate the usefulness of cognitive telepresence as an important design principle of human-robot systems consisting of a user with limited technology expertise and a robot with limited and error-prone artificial intelligence.

EVOLUTION OF A TELEPRESENCE ROBOT INTERFACE
Jill Drury

Robot operations are progressively becoming more important in a variety of areas, especially in environments where humans are at risk. When possible, it is better to have a robot search a cave in Afghanistan, patrol a building complex at night for security, or search through rubble piles for victims of a disaster. In these tasks, maintaining good situation awareness (SA) is a critical factor in successfully completing a remote robot operation.

Teleoperation to robotics at Langley Research Center
Jack Tupac Pennington

Applied Intelligence, 1992

A popular conception of the evolution of remote manipulation is a progression from teleoperation to telerobotics and then to robotics. This is logical because in going from teleoperation to robotics there would appear to be a continuous decrease in manned workload, an increase in system complexity, and an increase in the amount of "intelligence" in the automated system. During the past 10 years NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) has been involved in all three areas. The decision on which system is most suitable for a task depends not only on the task, but on the allocation of responsibility for intelligence or high level control. The operator may be responsible for all intelligence and control functions, they may be shared between the operator and the automated system, or they may be performed by an autonomous system. This paper discusses some of the experiences in each area in applications related to possible space tasks and some of the lessons learned.

Tele-operation and human robots interactions
Chellali Ryad

Proc. of 18th IEEE Int. Symp. on Robot & Human …, 2009

We are daily and continuously interacting with machines and so-called 'intelligent' manmade entities. We push buttons and we read instructions to get money from cashdispensers, we tune the washing machine or microwave oven with more or less efforts quasi-every day. Following that, one can easily admit that our era is heavily based on manmachines interactions and the easiness one has in handling such machines is capital, mainly in terms economical, social and psychological impacts. Robots, as a singular sub-set of these machines, are also subject to the same constraints and preoccupations. Moreover and unlikely to mobile phones, PDA or other intelligent devices, interactions with or through robots (tele-operation scheme) are more critical and more specific: interactions with robots are critical because robots are designed to achieve complex tasks within versatile, changing and hazardous environments. They are specific because robots are used instead (sometimes as extensions) of humans (for safety or for economical reasons) leading to confusions between machine-robot and living-robot concepts. The objective robot (the machine executing a program) and the subjective robot (the anthropomorphic robot and its image in folks mind) are entities too complex to be seen only as simple input-output black boxes. We believe that interactions with and through robots need very advanced and multi-disciplinary methodologies for designing human-robots communication, co-operation and collaboration interfaces. In this chapter, we give our vision for human-robots interactions. For this purpose, we propose to revisit the robotics timeline. We will show through this timeline the strong relations between robotics and tele-operation. These relations will be depicted under two perspectives: firstly, from human-robots interactions point of view and then from robots autonomy one. The natural and effective junction between these two visions will take place with the companion robot, e.g. the autonomous robot which is able to co-operate and to collaborate with humans. We belive that before reaching this robotics' ultimate goal, one must answer to a central problem: how humans perceive robots? This formultaion and the answers one can give to the question will undoubtly lead to design effective robots and simplified tools allwoing natural and transparent human-robts intercations. The document is organized as follow: the first part gives some historical hints letting the reader have a synthetic view of robotics' story. In the second part, we develop our theory about human robots interactions. We will see how we can built a new framework, namely 6 www.intechopen.com Remote and Telerobotics 92 the anthropomorphic robotics, by combining existing theories coming from neuroscience, psychology and psycho-physics. We show then that this theory can support simple teleoperation problems (delays, cognitive overloads, physical distance, etc.) as well as advanced human-robots co-operation issues. We finish by presenting some tools we are developing and some exemples of researches we are conucting to assess our hypothesis.

1 The Human Role in Telerobotics
Manuel Ferre

2007

This chapter introduces the main topics of a telerobotic system. It describes the architecture of such a system from a general point of view and emphasizes the interaction between a human operator and a robot that performs the task in the remote environment. Furthermore it focuses on multi-modal human system interfaces and explains the main features of haptic, auditory, and visual interfaces. Finally important issues for the measurement and evaluation of the attribute telepresence are described.

Cooperative manipulation between humans and teleoperated agents
Robert Ambrose

12th International Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems, 2004. HAPTICS '04. Proceedings., 2004

Robonaut is a humanoid robot designed by the Robotic Systems Technology Branch at NASA's Johnson Space Center in a collaborative effort with DARPA. This paper describes the implementation of haptic feedback into Robonaut. We conducted a cooperative manipulation task, inserting a flexible beam into an instrumented receptacle. This task was performed while both a human at the worksite and the teleoperated robot grasped the flexible beam simultaneously. Peak forces in the receptacle were consistently lower when the human operator was provided with kinesthetic force feedback in addition to other modalities of feedback such as gestures and voice commands. These findings are encouraging as the Dexterous Robotics Lab continues to implement force feedback into its teleoperator hardware architecture.

Perceiving for acting with teleoperated robots: Ecological principles to human robot interaction design
Bruno Mantel

2012

By primarily focusing on the perceptual information available to an organism and by adopting a functional perspective, the ecological approach to perception and action provides a unique theoretical basis for addressing the remote perception problem raised by telerobotics. After clarifying some necessary concepts of this approach, we first detail some of the major implications of an ecological perspective to robot teleoperation. Based on these, we then propose a framework for coping with the alteration of the information available to the operator. While our proposal shares much with previous works that applied ecological principles to the design of man-machine interfaces (e.g., ecological interface design), it puts a special emphasis on the control of action (instead of process) which is central to teleoperation but has been seldom addressed in the literature.

Human-Robot Interaction
David Feil-Seifer

… of Complexity and System Science. Springer, 2009

Robots are poised to fill a growing number of roles in today's society, from factory automation to service applications to medical care and entertainment. While robots were initially used in repetitive tasks where all human direction is given a priori, they are becoming involved in increasingly more complex and less structured tasks and activities, including interaction with people required to complete those tasks. This complexity has prompted the entirely new endeavor of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), the study of how humans interact with robots, and how best to design and implement robot systems capable of accomplishing interactive tasks in human environments. The fundamental goal of HRI is to develop the principles and algorithms for robot systems that make them capable of direct, safe and effective interaction with humans. Many facets of HRI research relate to and draw from insights and principles from psychology, communication, anthropology, philosophy, and ethics, making HRI an inherently interdisciplinary endeavor.
