Abstract

The use of teleoperation systems can provide substantial advantages in various fields such as remote explosive dismantling and rescue operations, as well as improve the accuracy on certain tasks like surgery. These systems offer feedback mainly based on visual information of the task performed showing relevant data of the systems used as well as their surroundings. Our proposal involves the use of haptic devices to remotely control a robot in order for the user to receive haptic feedback alongside the visual information. In a first design that several experts evaluated, it was concluded that the interface used had to be substantially improved. This communication describes the process developed to design and evaluate an interface to improve user interaction with the teleoperation system.
