Book excerpt: This study, conducted at Fort Benning, Georgia, was an operational investigation of tele-operation control performance with the use of three different robotic control devices. Twelve Soldiers from the Officers Candidate School and three Soldiers from Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 11th Infantry Regiment served as participants. Before any training, Soldiers provided an initial evaluation of the intuitiveness of controller features. After training in the operation of the IRobot PackBot Robot system, each Soldier completed a driving course using three different controller types. Controller A was the largest of the three controllers and each control manipulation had a single function. Both controller A and controller B had a similar number of single-function controls; however, controller B's controls were laid in a different configuration and were smaller than controller A's. Controller C had the fewest controls and the controls were multi-functional. Soldiers were tasked to drive the robot and to perform operations such as surveillance using the robotic arm. We measured workload for each controller was measured by having the Soldiers complete the NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Task Load Index survey after they used each controller type. type and usability were evaluated, based on objective performance data, data collector observations, and Soldier questionnaires.

Book excerpt: This study, which took place at Fort Benning, GA, focused on the feasibility of reducing robotic controller size by replacing some of the manual controls with speech-based controls. Eleven Soldiers from the Officers Candidate School served as participants. After training on the operation of the iRobot PackBot small unmanned ground vehicle (SUGV) system, each Soldier teleoperated the SUGV using two controller conditions; a combination of speech and manual control and manual control only. Soldiers were tasked to drive the robot and to perform operations such as surveillance using the robotic arm. Controller type and usability were evaluated based on objective performance data, data collector observations, and Soldier questionnaire responses. Workload for each controller was measured by having the Soldiers complete the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index survey after using each controller type. Speech-based control exhibited the potential for benefits beyond controller size reduction. It decreased time and effort when performing multiple tasks simultaneously by allowing speech commands to be given for control of the robotic arm while at the same time maneuvering the robot using manual controls. The speech-based control system also has the potential to provide other benefits beyond those addressed in this study.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scalability has been given many different definitions, depending upon the background of the person defining it, the technology being considered, and the operational use of the technology. Typically, when interface designers talk about scalable interfaces they are referring to a design that ensures that development takes into account the requirement to change over time. Without this type of scalability, interface designs require a complete renovation when a small change is needed in the application. This book examines the process of scaling robotic controls and displays for army soldiers.

Download or read book Robotic Autonomy and Control written by Taylor C. Mueller and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores robotic autonomy and control with a focus on the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's initiation of research targeting robotics technologies for asymmetric warfare in urban terrain. The vision for this tactical domain calls for small robots suited to manoeuvre indoors as well as outdoors, perhaps sharing space with troops, with sensors to perceive the immediate surroundings, and sufficient intelligence to enable unsupervised operation. Also discussed is the scalability of robotic controllers and the effects of progressive levels of autonomy on robotic reconnaissance tasks and intuitive speech-based robotic control.

This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Symposia on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems (DARS) started at Riken, Japan in 1992. Since then, the DARS symposia have been held every two years: in 1994 and 1996 in Japan (Riken, Wako), in 1998 in Germany (Karlsruhe), in 2000 in the USA (Knoxville, TN), in 2002 in Japan (Fukuoka), in 2004 in France (Toulouse), and in 2006 in the USA (Minneapolis, MN). The 9th DARS symposium, which was held during November 17–19 in T- kuba, Japan, hosted 84 participants from 13 countries. The 48 papers presented there were selected through rigorous peer review with a 50% acceptance ratio. Along with three invited talks, they addressed the spreading research fields of DARS, which are classifiable along two streams: theoretical and standard studies of DARS, and interdisciplinary studies using DARS concepts. The former stream includes multi-robot cooperation (task assignment methodology among multiple robots, multi-robot localization, etc.), swarm intelligence, and modular robots. The latter includes distributed sensing, mobiligence, ambient intelligence, and mul- agent systems interaction with human beings. This book not only offers readers the latest research results related to DARS from theoretical studies to application-oriented ones; it also describes the present trends of this field. With the diversity and depth revealed herein, we expect that DARS technologies will flourish soon.
