We present a comprehensive framework and test methodology for the evaluation of human-
machine interfaces (HMI) and human-robot interactions (HRI) in collaborative manufacturing …

This article describes the theoretical underpinnings and preliminary experimental support for
option awareness (OA): the perception and comprehension of the relative desirability of …

The ability of robotic systems to effectively address disaster scenarios that are potentially
dangerous for human operators is continuing to grow as a research and development field …

Teleoperating robotic arms can be a challenging task for non-experts, particularly when
using complex control devices or interfaces. To address the limitations and challenges of …

Robot control typically requires many physical joysticks, buttons and switches. We have
created a dynamically resiz ing, ergonomic, and multi-touch (DREAM) controller that …

Human performance plays an important role in system performance and is influenced by a
wide set of internal, organizational, and environmental factors. Human–robot systems are …

For robots to successfully integrate into everyday life, it is important that they can be
effectively controlled by laypeople. However, the task of manually controlling mobile robots …

Context menus, most commonly the right click menu, are a traditional method of interaction
when using a keyboard and mouse. Context menus make a subset of commands in the …

Each software context has its specificities. One specfic type of context is the multi-touch,
where two or more touches are recognized by the software at the same time. Still in this …

Robust manipulation with a dexterous robot hand is a grand challenge of robotics.
Impressive levels of dexterity can be achieved through teleoperation. However …
