In a world with rapidly growing levels of automation, robotics is playing an increasingly
significant role in every aspect of human endeavour. In particular, many types of mobile …

Modern public services are nowadays capable of conducting complex operations in case of
various natural or man-made hazards. In last decades, the responsibilities of the fire …

This paper proposes an alternative approach to common teleoperation methods found in
search and rescue (SAR) robots. Using a head mounted display (HMD) the operator is …

After an earthquake or the collapse of a built structure, and facing a scenario of large
destruction, the response time to search and locate trapped survivors is crucial. The human …

This paper describes and evaluates the use of a head-mounted display (HMD) for the
teleoperation of a field robot. The HMD presents a pair of video streams to the operator (one …

This paper develops and compares two motion planning algorithms for a tethered UAV with
and without the possibility of the tether contacting the confined and cluttered environment …

User interfaces (UI) are shifting from being attention-hungry to being attentive to users'
needs upon interaction. Interfaces developed for robot teleoperation can be particularly …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect on time to complete a task
depending on how a human operator interacts with a mobile‐robot. Interaction is …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of time delay on the ability of a
human operator to complete a task with a teleoperated mobile‐robot using two systems, two …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a robot for
