Quantitative Physical Ergonomics Assessment of Teleoperation Interfaces

Human factors and ergonomics are the essential constituents of teleoperation interfaces, which can significantly affect human operator’s performance. Thus, a quantitative evaluation these elements ability to establish reliable comparison bases for different interfaces keys select most suitable one particular application. However, works on have so far focused stability analysis transparency improvement systems do not cover important usability aspects. In this article, we propose foundation build general framework in employing diverse interfaces. The proposed will go beyond traditional subjective analyses by complementing it with online measurements body configurations. As result, multiple metrics, such as joints’ usage, range motion comfort, center mass divergence, posture introduced. To demonstrate potential framework, two considered, real-world experiments 11 participants performing simulated industrial remote pick-and-place task conducted. results provided, compared questionnaires, illustrating effectiveness framework.
