This book was released on 1966 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long term aim of this work is the modeling of the process by which the human commands and controls a real-time information system containing automatic subroutines which may be used to accomplish portions of the task. Remote manipulation is believed to have all the typical attributes of such a system yet be simple enough to be amenable to laboratory investigation. This report describes a computer simulation of a remote manipulation task and rate-controlled manipulator; into the latter was built some low-level automatic decision making ability which could be used at the operator's discretion to augment his direct continuous control. Under experimental investigation were the effect of transmission delay, dynamic lag and intermittent vision on human manipulative ability. This report describes further experiments in which the operator called in sequence various on-site automatic control programs of the machine, and thereby acted as a supervisor. The results suggest that the supervisory mode of operation has some advantages when the task to be performed is difficult for a human controlling directly. Results show the supervisory mode to require more training than the direct mode.
Download or read book Supervisory Control of Remote Manipulation with Compensation for Moving Target written by Kazuo Tani and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this project is to evaluate automatic compensation for moving targets in the supervisory control of remote manipulators. An experimental system was built which consists of a master/slave manipulator, a moving table for the moving object, and a computer controlling both the manipulator and the table. A software system was made which allows the master/slave operation with object motion compensation under computer control. The method of resolved motion rate control was adopted for the manipulator control. The computation time in this way proved practical and permitted a system sampling interval of 0.05 s. Experiments were carried out with human operators performing manipulation tasks in the master/slave operation under computer control. Their performance was compared in three situations: no object motion, compensation for the object motion, and no compensation. The comparison of the compensation and no compensation situations showed that the compensation reduced the operation time by 26 - 41% in the peg moving task and increased the accuracy by two and a half times in rectangle tracing. In valve turning, however, a significant improvement was not observed. Thus, it can be concluded that the compensation for target motion can improve the performance of the human operator significantly in certain kinds of tasks. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A famous French writer, Anatole France, liked to say, "The future is a convenient place to position our dreams" (1927). Indeed, this remark gains full meaning when one considers the history of what we call today "Robotics." For more than 3000 years, mankind has dreamt ofthe possibility of arti ficial machines that would have all the advantages of human slaves without any of their drawbacks. With the developments in technology since the end of World War II, mainly with the explosive progress of computers, it was thought we might at last succeed in transforming this everlasting dream into reality. In the mind of scientists of the 1950's, to make such intelligent and autonomous machines before the year 2000 seemed a small challenge: it was obvious, thanks to computers and Artificial Intelligence. But, in spite of progress in some directions, we must admit that the dream remains a dream and that the basic problems denying us a successful issue are not solved. In fact, if we except industrial robots, only calling for classical automata theory, the main advanced result concerning autonomous and intelligent machines is related to some understanding of reasons why we have failed during the past years.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report covers research and development directed toward the investigation and optimization of man-machine communication in computer-aided remote manipulation. The purpose of this program was to determine through analytical and experimental studies the relationships between primary man-machine communication factors and system performance, and to develop and demonstrate a communication design methodology to improve operator performance with remotely controlled systems. Specific objectives included the following: (1) to perform an analysis of communications requirements in computer-aided manipulation and closely related areas of adaptive and autonomous control, (2) to establish an experimental system for study of task-oriented supervisory control of a remote manipulator, (3) to implement and evaluate communication systems, encompassing both language and interface, designed to permit natural and efficient control of a variety of remote manipulation tasks, (4) to identify the primary factors influencing the success of shared man-computer control, and to establish quantitative relationships between these factors and the system performance measures, and (5) to provide guidelines for the design of man-computer communication in subsequent autonomous, adaptive and remotely-manned systems.
Download or read book SUPERMAN A System for Supervisory Manipulation and the Study of Human Computer Interactions written by Thurston Leondus Brooks (III.) and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis considers the need for supervisory control of remote teleoperator vehicles in the ocean environment, and shows that computer controlled systems can increase the effectiveness of remote manipulation. A distinction is made between absolute tasks (tasks which have a known spatial relationship to the manipulator base prior to execution) and relative tasks (tasks which cannot be spatially defined prior to execution). A second distinction is made between fixed tasks (tasks which remain fixed with respect to the manipulator base during execution) and moving tasks (tasks which continuously move with respect to the manipulator base during execution). Four distinct combinations can be made from this 2x2 array: (1) fixed-absolute tasks, (2) fixed-relative tasks, (3) moving-absolute tasks, and (4) moving-relative tasks. Mathematical principles are developed to deal with each of these four possibilities.
Download or read book Supervisory Control of Remote Manipulators Vehicles and Dynamic Processes written by Thomas B. Sheridan and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is about supervisory control, an increasingly prevalent form of man-machine system wherein a human operator controls a process as the supervisor of a computer. The computer, in turn, may perform limited automatic control or it may process and display information from sensors. The particular context of interest here is supervisory control of manipulators and vehicles for remote inspection and work in the deep ocean. After giving a more detailed definition of supervisory control and providing examples, the report reviews a number of experimental studies conducted recently at the MIT Man-Machine System Laboratory. These are divided into two groups. The first group of studies is concerned with computer mediation in command and control of manipulation. The next group of experimental studies examines computer mediation in processing sensed information and displaying it to the human supervisor. A brief conclusion reviews how these experiments fit together and speculates on problems and prospects for supervisory control in manipulation, vehicle and process control, and other areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, the author and his colleagues in the MIT Man-Machine Systems Laboratory have been carrying out experimental research in the area of teleoperation, telerobotics, and supervisory control - a new form of technology that allows humans to work through machines in hazardous environments and control complex systems such as aircraft and nuclear power plants. This timely reference brings together a variety of theories and technologies that have emerged in a number of fields of application, describing common themes, presenting experiments and hardware embodiments as examples, and discussing the advantages and the drawbacks of this new form of human-machine interaction. There are many places - such as outer space, the oceans, and nuclear, biologically, and chemically toxic environments - that are; inaccessible or hazardous to humans but in which work needs to be done. Telerobotics - remote supervision by human operators of robotic or semi-automatic devices - is a way to enter these difficult environments. Yet it raises a host of problems, such as the retrieval of sensory information for the human operator and how to control the remote devices with sufficient dexterity. In its complete coverage of the theoretical and technological aspects of telerobotics and human-computer cooperation in the control of complex systems, this book moves beyond the simplistic notion of humans versus automation to provide the necessary background for exploring a new and informed cooperative relationship, between humans and machines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote manipulator control considered is based on several levels of automatic supervision which derives manipulator commands from an analysis of sensor states and task requirements. Principle sensors are manipulator joint position, tactile, and currents. The tactile sensor states can be displayed visually in perspective or replicated in the operator's control handle of perceived by the automatic supervisor. Studies are reported on control organization, operator performance and system performance measures. Unusual hardware and software details are described.
