Mixed-initiative variable autonomy for remotely operated mobile robots by Chiou, M, Hawes, N, Stolkin, R

“…Analyses from the two experiments provide evidence that: (a) Human-Initiative (HI) systems outperform systems with single modes of operation, such as pure teleoperation, in navigation tasks; (b) in the context of the simulated robot experiment, Mixed-initiative (MI) systems provide improved performance in navigation tasks, improved operator performance in cognitive demanding secondary tasks, and improved operator workload compared to HI. …”

Special issue on Robotics: Science and Systems by Newman, Paul, Srinivasa, Siddhartha, Nicholas, Roy, Roy, Nicholas

“…Although they are on diverse topics–assisted teleoperation, underwater terrain segmentation, multi-robot allocation, micro aerial vehicles, humanoid walking–they share a common theme of developing new theories and algorithms coupled with the commitment to demonstrate these insights on real robotic platforms, marrying the science and systems of robotics.…”

Director: A user interface designed for robot operation with shared autonomy by Marion, P, Fallon, M, Deits, R, Valenzuela, A, Pérez D'Arpino, C, Izatt, G, Manuelli, L, Antone, M, Dai, H, Koolen, T, Carter, J, Kuindersma, S, Tedrake, R

“…Our use of Director at the DRC resulted in efficient high‐level task operation while being fully competitive with approaches focusing on teleoperation by highly trained operators. We discuss the primary interface elements that comprise Director, and we provide an analysis of its successful use at the DRC.…”

Recollections on Presence Beginnings, and Some Challenges for Augmented and Virtual Reality by Sheridan, Thomas B

“…We saw a close relation between VR and teleoperation, as depicted by Figure 1. To the extent that the computer-generated reality and the telepresence feedback from an actual tele- operator are both of sufficiently high quality, from the human operator’s viewpoint the mental model of the task and the interactions at the computer interface should be the same. …”

Designing Parent-Child-Robot Triadic Storybook Reading Interaction by Jang, Soo Jung

“…The thesis work designs and develops an interactive reading system consisting of a robot facilitator, a storybook tablet app, and a teleoperation controller. Using the implemented reading system, we conduct a pilot Wizard of Oz (WoZ) triadic interaction study with four families, observing and analyzing their triadic interactions in shared reading setting. …”

Cooperative robot control and concurrent synchronization of Lagrangian systems by Chung, Soon-Jo, Slotine, Jean-Jacques E.

“…This article presents a simple synchronization framework that can be directly applied to cooperative control of multi-agent systems and oscillation synchronization in robotic manipulation and teleoperation. A dynamical network of multiple Lagrangian systems is constructed by adding diffusive couplings to otherwise freely moving or flying robots. …”
