Matching Feedback with Operator Intent for Effective Human-machine Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various roles for operators in human-machine systems have been proposed. The proposed research hypothesizes that underlying all of these views is the law that operators perform best when given feedback of the same type as their intent. To test the hypothesis, operator performance with position control, rate control, and position control with the ghost arm will be measured to see if giving position feedback will demonstrate its advantage over rate control and explain the previously found advantage of rate control. Past studies have shown that position control is superior to rate control except when operating large-workspace and/or low-bandwidth manipulators and for tracking tasks. Operators of large-workspace and/or low-bandwidth manipulators do not receive immediate position feedback. To remedy this, a ghost arm overlay will be displayed for them. Operators will also perform different tasks (point-to-point motion, tracking, path following, etc.) with different controllers (position control, velocity control) under different task conditions (obstacles, bandwidth of the machine, etc.) to measure how different task factors influence the operator's intent. The feasibility of using a ghost arm for teleoperation will be investigated by displaying the arm with 3DTV technology. Unlike previous work, this research will compare the fuel efficiencies of different HMIs as well as time efficiencies.

Automation Usage Decisions: Controlling Intent and Appraisal Errors in a Target Detection Task
BACKGROUND It was proposed that misuse and disuse often occur because operators (a) cannot determine if automation or a nonautomated alternative maximizes the likelihood of task success (appraisal errors) or (b) know the utilities of the options but disregard this information when deciding to use automation (intent errors). OBJECTIVE This investigation assessed the effectiveness of performanc...
متن کاملI Meant to Do That: Determining the Intentions of Action in the Face of Disturbances
Our actions often do not match our intentions when there are external disturbances such as turbulence. We derived a novel modeling approach for determining this motor intent from targeted reaching motions that are disturbed by an unexpected force. First, we demonstrated how to mathematically invert both feedforward (predictive) and feedback controls to obtain an intended trajectory. We next exa...
متن کاملTwo-stage fuzzy-stochastic programming for parallel machine scheduling problem with machine deterioration and operator learning effect
This paper deals with the determination of machine numbers and production schedules in manufacturing environments. In this line, a two-stage fuzzy stochastic programming model is discussed with fuzzy processing times where both deterioration and learning effects are evaluated simultaneously. The first stage focuses on the type and number of machines in order to minimize the total costs associat...
متن کاملBuilding a Task Language for Segmentation and Recognition of User Input to Cooperative Manipulation Systems
We present the results of using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for automatic segmentation and recognition of user motions. Previous work on recognition of user intent with man/machine interfaces has used task-level HMMs with a single hidden state for each sub-task. In contrast, many speech recognition systems employ HMMs at the phoneme level, and use a network of HMMs to model words. We analogousl...
متن کاملHuman Control Of
This thesis presents a framework for the design of interfaces that can only obtain noisy and discrete inputs at high latency from a human user (e.g., with an electroencephalograph) to control a robotic system (e.g., a robotic wheelchair) that can provide visual feedback. In this framework, the human user communicates their intent by providing inputs in response to queries posed by the robot. Th...
