Improving Task Performance in Robotic Teleoperation Using 3D Visual Cues
DescriptionIn robotic teleoperation, accurate depth perception is crucial, particularly for tasks that require precise manipulation, such as grasping and moving objects. Traditional teleoperation often uses 2D visuals, which can limit depth perception, impacting task efficiency and error rates. The study explores the effectiveness of 360-degree video feedback in enhancing depth perception and task performance in robotic teleoperation, compared to traditional 2D feedback. Specifically, it aims to answer the following critical research questions: (1) Does the integration of 3D video feedback enhance task performance in simulated teleoperation scenarios? (2) How does the use of a virtual reality (VR) headset for viewing 3D cues affect operator comfort and mental workload? And (3) Do object type, and participant's previous experience with VR and joystick (used to operate a robot) affect task performance? By addressing these questions, the research aims to guide improvements in teleoperation systems, focusing on using immersive technologies to enhance performance.
