Development of robot teleoperate system using neck motion to construct a data collection platform

摘要

For modelling autonomous mobile communication robots, a platform that can collect operation log of teleoperated robot and operator gesture is required. In order to collect a large amount of operation log using teleoperated robots, it is necessary to consider an interface with a small workload on the operator. This paper proposes a robot teleoperation system using the operator’s neck movements that aims to reduce the operator’s workload and collect data. The neck movement is used for the teleoperated robot’s camera movements. Subjects evaluate the workload for both the proposesd system and conventional interface by performing two task; checking numblers and seargching objects. In the task of checking numbers on the monitor in the environment, the workload of the proposed system was lower than that of the conventional system. In the task of searching objects in the environment, there was no significant in workload between two systems.
