“…Subjective preference rating: Subjective feedback has been an integral method of assessing user acceptance and identifying additional requirements [15,55,56]. Subjective preference ratings can capture several factors that are subtle and/or difficult to quantify including perceptions of physical comfort, psychological comfort, integrated sensory perceptions [57], and elements of subjective workload that may reflect effects of resources such as memory [58] and task differences [59].…”

“…Such somatosensory feedback can convey information such as thermal and tactile properties of the object being manipulated. By doing so, they may contribute to enhancing situational awareness and aiding decision making relevant to the tasks being executed [14][15][16]. Multimodal feedback interfaces may provide effective solutions to bridging this gap and have been explored previously in several applications such as human-computer interaction and teleoperation [17,18].…”

Individuals with disabilities and persons operating in inaccessible environments can greatly benefit from the aid of robotic manipulators in performing daily living activities and other remote tasks. Users relying on robotic manipulators to interact with their environment are restricted by the lack of sensory information available through traditional operator interfaces. These interfaces deprive users of somatosensory feedback that would typically be available through direct contact. Multimodal sensory feedback can bridge these perceptual gaps effectively. Given a set of object properties (e.g., temperature, weight) to be conveyed and sensory modalities (e.g., visual, haptic) available, it is necessary to determine which modality should be assigned to each property for an effective interface design. The goal of this study was to develop an effective multisensory interface for robot-assisted pouring tasks, which delivers nuanced sensory feedback while permitting the high visual demand necessary for precise teleoperation. To that end, an optimization approach was employed to generate a combination of feedback properties to modality assignments that maximizes effective feedback perception and minimizes cognitive load. A set of screening experiments tested twelve possible individual assignments to form this optimal combination. The resulting perceptual accuracy, load, and user preference measures were input into a cost function. Formulating and solving as a linear assignment problem, a minimum cost combination was generated. Results from experiments evaluating efficacy in practical use cases for pouring tasks indicate that the solution was significantly more effective than no feedback and had considerable advantage over an arbitrary design.

“…Important factors to take account of in the design include aesthetics and the attractiveness of the device, reliability and safety, steering and wheelchair usability [135, 145]. The device's appearance and attractiveness are important both because the user will generally spend a considerable amount of time with the device and because it may affect the way other people react to and treat them.…”

“…It should also have low power consumption and be able to reach floor level and head height. The barriers to the acceptance of robotic manipulators include concerns about size, insufficient functions, poor appearance, taking too long to carry out activities and fears of becoming isolated and a reduction in communication [145].…”

The paper discusses the potential of assistive service robots to support disabled and elderly people. It shows that they have considerable untapped potential in this area, but also that inappropriate implementations could increase isolation, reduce independence and lead to users feeling as though they are under surveillance. The main body of the paper presents an overview of existing applications and discusses their benefits and potential problems. This is organized by an extension of the common classification into socially and physically assistive robots by the two categories of sensory assistive and mixed assistance robots. Another more detailed classification is also presented. This discussion is introduced by an overview of many of the technological components of smart mobile robots. It is followed by a discussion of user acceptance. The problems of existing models based on either solely positive or solely negative factors are noted and a model containing both types of factors is proposed. The need for continuing research is noted and various proposals are made.
