Human-Centered Design for Safe Teleoperation of Connected Vehicles

Teleoperation of Unmanned Vehicles: The Human Factor

Unmanned vehicles or robots promise to increase the operational range of the armed forces while reducing the exposition of personnel to hazardous conditions. They have traditionally been in use for aerial surveillance and ground based explosive ordnance disposal. Following the ongoing progress in research and technology, unmanned vehicles have the potential to play a much more versatile role in...

Human-Centered Scaling in Micro-Teleoperation

In micro-teleoperation, such as micro tele-surgery, a scaling problem is one of the most important problems. The human operator must be able to identify the micro-environment and execute well the microteleoperation. In this study, a human-centered scaling is suggested. In the developed micro-teleoperaion system, the human operator can choose the optimum scaling parameters in consideration of hi...

- 1 - Bilateral Teleoperation – Human Operator Centered Approach

Bilateral teleoperation provides human operators with the ability to manipulate and receive force feedback from distant objects. Teleoperation is applied in various areas such as space robotics, handling hazardous materials, and surgery. Using teleoperated robots in space exploration reduces costs of assembly, maintenance, and repair tasks, as well as the risk that accompanies extra vehicular a...

Human-Centered Design for Development

This paper describes the challenges faced in ICTD by reviewing the lessons learned from a project geared at improving the livelihood of marginal farmers in India through wireless sensor networks. Insufficient user participation, lack of attention to user needs, and a primary focus on technology in the design process led to unconvinced target users who were not interested in the new technology. ...
