Vibrotactile Feedback for Enhanced Control of Urban Search and Rescue Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a method of enhancing feedback for Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) robot operators through the use of a wearable vibrotactile display. The display provides vibrotactile feedback corresponding to sensor data collected by the robot. A USAR robot may be equipped with a variety of sensors including proximity, temperature, motion, and many others. The system described here is intended to enable a series of empirical studies aimed at evaluating this use of vibrotactile display.

متن کاملAgent-Based Support for Balancing teleoperation and Autonomy in Urban Search and Rescue
Today’s artificial intelligence technology is insufficient to support autonomous task performance in complex domains such as urban search and rescue, forcing human teleoperation of robots to be extensively relied upon. This, however, also has problems: humans quickly suffer from cognitive overload, and have difficulties in constructing a representation of the space around a remotely-placed robo...
متن کاملRSARSim: A Toolkit for Evaluating HRI in Robotic Search and Rescue Tasks
A well-designed human-robot interface (HRI) is important for the success of search and rescue operations in urban environments. Controlling multiple robotic agents increases the complexity of the human operator’s control task since the human operator’s attention has to be divided between several robots. Without a good user interface, adding more robots to the system will not necessarily increas...
متن کاملImproving multi-robot teleoperation by inferring operator distraction
A high-quality human-robot interface is essential for the success of search and rescue operations in urban environments that are too challenging for fully-autonomous operation. Teleoperating multiple robots greatly increases the complexity of the human’s cognitive task, since the operator’s concentration is divided among multiple robots. Thus, simply adding more robots to the system does not ne...
