Abstract
There are several metrics to evaluate about the sophistication of a telepresence robot. One of them is concerning operator performance especially about Situation Awareness (SA). There are many ways to enhance their awareness about situation and environment in the remote side. To do an evaluation, this paper want to propose a mechanism to do an SA assessment on a telepresence robot. The proposed mechanism is basically based on a query that randomly displayed to the operator. The operator will quickly respond to the query on the telepresence robot user interface. The query is used to assess SA, therefore all SA requirements from perception to prediction will be accommodated. The mechanism is developed and implemented on the telepresence robot prototype. Some users tried to operate and respond to the assessment queries. The user response can be stored and retrieved to be processed further to do an SA assessment. The mechanism seems to be working and can be easily deployed to another telepresence robot as long as the protocol is compatible.
