Development of User-Interface for Intuitively Maneuvering Remotely Operated Robots

-Investigation of Operator’s Sense of Agency and Mental Workload under the Communication Delay-

Abstract

This paper describes the development of the user-interface for intuitively maneuvering remotely operated robots. In the remote operation, the communication delay makes difficult to maneuver the robots, and it will affect operator’s mental workload. Reducing the mental workload is important factor for safe task execution. To reduce the operator’s mental workload, we focused on improving the operator’s Sense of Agency.
