User Interface for Remote Operation of a Moving Robot via Internet.

Using Video in a Graphical User Interface for Remote Control of a Mobile Robot

Rapidly developing Internet communication technologies provide today wide opportunities to create different applications for interacting with various robotic systems. This Master’s thesis presents a study of how to supply a graphic user interface for remote control of an autonomous mobile robot through the Internet with video information. The goal of this project is to analyze different techniq...

Assigned Responsibility for Remote Robot Operation

The remote control of robots, known as teleoperation, is a non-trivial task, requiring the operator to make decisions based on the information relayed by the robot about its own status as well as its surroundings. This places the operator under significant cognitive load. A solution to this involves sharing this load between the human operator and automated operators. This paper builds on the i...

Intelligent User Interface for a Rehabilitation Robot

Director: A User Interface Designed for Robot Operation with Shared Autonomy

Operating a high degree of freedom mobile manipulator, such as a humanoid, in a field scenario requires constant situational awareness, capable perception modules, and effective mechanisms for interactive motion planning and control. A well-designed operator interface presents the operator with enough data and flexibility to handle off-script operating scenarios robustly, without overwhelming t...

Improving Human-Robot Interaction for Remote Robot Operation

Our system design is a result of our HRI studies in USAR (see, for example, [Yanco and Drury 2004; Scholtz et al. 2004; Yanco et al. 2004]). A major influence on our design philosophy comes from the observation that users of USAR interfaces become so absorbed in the video display that they ignore all other information on the interface. We exploit this behavior in our design by placing important...
