چکیده

This work focuses on the development of a user interface suitable for targeted spraying, using a robot that is teleoperated along the vineyard rows. A prototype of the spraying interface was developed and the usability of three different interaction modes was investigated. Fifty participants were asked to use the three devices to select grape clusters taken from a simulated robot moving along rows in a vineyard. Next, participants completed a questionnaire related to their user experience with the system. This paper presents the results of the statistical analysis of the log files and questionnaire responses to compare the three devices.
