Improving Perception in Time-delayed Telerobotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Telerobotics has long struggled to provide realistic force feedback to a user, especially across substantial time delays. Wave variable based controllers provide stable force reflection at frequencies up to a few hertz for typical communication delays; however, the bandwidth of human perception extends to a thousand hertz. In this paper we aim to improve the user’s perception by constructing a fundamentally asymmetric controller that better matches the sensory capabilities of the human operator. The improvements stem from two extensions to a normal wave variable controller. First, we revisit wave reflections and utilize wave filtering and shaping to separate distracting oscillations from useful reaction information. This avoids excess damping inherent to impedance matching and enhances the low-frequency feel of the system. Secondly, we incorporate highfrequency feedback from a force sensor located at the slave endeffector. This augmented system leverages the passivation capabilities of wave filters to compensate for energy generation. It renders the complete spectrum of environment interaction forces to the user, allowing the perception of small environment features across substantial delays. These improvements are tested and validated in three simple experiments on a three-degrees-of-freedom testbed.

Improving force feedback perception using low bandwidth teleoperation devices
Operator perception could be improved by upgrading force feedback devices and adding more senses, such as audio and/or visual. This work is focused on multi-sensorial feedback such as vision, sound, and haptic. The main objective is to determine the most suitable manner to show proper information from the remote environment using devices with a bandwith lower than 30 Hz. The advantage of this d...

متن کاملHuman Perceived Transparency with Time Delay
Transparency – in the sense that the technical systems and communication network should not be felt by the human – is one of the key issues in telerobotics control design. The communication characteristics is one of the crucial factors for the achievable transparency level in bilateral telerobotic control architectures. Especially time delay – resulting from the communication network between th...
متن کاملPerception of Delayed Stiffness Perception of Delayed Stiffness
Advanced technology has recently provided truly immersive virtual environments with teleoperated robotic devices. In order to control movements from a distance, the human sensorimotor system has to overcome the effects of delay. Currently, little is known about the mechanisms that underlie haptic estimation in delayed environments. The aim of this research is to explore the effect of a delay on...
