چکیده

A semi-autonomously controlled fluid-powered legged search and rescue robot is proposed as a solution to the everincreasing demand for more versatile rescue robot technology. The success of such a robot is dependent on the existence of a user interface that optimizes the balance between user and machine decisions and provides the operator with the appropriate amount of information to soundly make such decisions. The system design, consisting of a simulation/physical robot, on-board computer, and operator interface are described. Aspects of the relation between operator input and robot motion are discussed, such as the influence of feedback on operator actions or the integration of input into semi-autonomous gaits. The basis for tests seeking to optimize the interface design is established.

A combined navigation strategy by a steering

This paper applies our developed novice users oriented force feedback steering wheel interface and mouse interface to navigating a tank type rescue robot. By analyzing merits and limitation of operating each interface, we propose a combined navigation strategy by the two interfaces. The steering wheel interface consists of a force feedback steering control and a six monitors’ wall. Through this...

Exploring Haptic Interfacing with a Mobile Robot without Visual Feedback

Search and Rescue scenarios are often complicated by low or no visibility conditions, because of smoke or dust. The lack of visual feedback causes significant stress for human rescue workers. If a group of robots could overcome the navigation and localisation problems, they would become assistants to a human rescue worker. Trials were held with professional fire fighters; however it became clea...

Game-Based Design of Human-Robot Interfaces for Urban Search and Rescue

Robot Urban Search and Rescue is a new task in robotics that is challenging not only robot hardware, but also humanrobot interfaces. It is a real-world challenge in an unstructured environment that requires cooperation between a remote robot and a human operator. The study of humanrobot interfaces is still in its infancy, and most of the urban search & rescue systems field so far use an ad hoc ...

Investigating the Level of Observing the Evaluation Criteria for User Interface in library services providing to the blind and deaf users in the word

Purpose: Digital library user interfaces has a determining role in desirable performance of this kind of libraries. Digital Library service providers to the blind and deaf users will have their best performance when the users (deaf and blind users) could have a proper interaction with them. This study aims to evaluate and analyze the criteria related to user interface in digital libraries servi...
