Title: Using visuomotor tendencies to increase control performance in teleoperation
Abstract: Robotic teleoperation is increasingly being used across the world to perform tasks where it is dangerous or impossible for a human to be physically present and complete the task directly themselves. However, robotic teleoperation is difficult due to the disconnect between the operator and the robot caused by the lack of depth in the video feedback presented to the operator. To overcome this problem, this paper presents a novel human-in-the-loop system in which the user is actively involved in the control. In the presented system, the operator's gaze is employed to intuitively indicate the target while their hands are directing the robot towards it. A novel potential field method is used to combine the indicated target with the operator's joystick commands. The control parameters needed to achieve better motion accuracy and user experience are also discussed. Initial validation results show the ability of the system to improve accuracy, execution time, and reduce operator error.
