Abstract:We investigate how the use of haptic feedback through electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) can improve collision-avoidance in a robot teleoperation scenario. Background: Collision-free robot teleoperation requires extensive situation awareness by the operator. This is difficult to achieve purely visually when obstacles can exist outside of the robot’s field of view. Therefore, feedback from other sensory channels can be beneficial. Method: We compare feedback modalities in the form of auditory, haptic and bi-mo… Show more
