Abstract

Teleoperation is de defined by pioneer in robotics and remote control technology, Thomas B. Sheridan [1] as: "Teleoperation is the extension of a person's sensing and manipulation capability to a remote location." It is used in a wide variety of situations and environments including: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV), nuclear reactors, Mars rovers and many more [2, 3, 4]. Much research is aimed at improving the robot's communication software/hardware, sensors, effectiveness of control and autonomy. However, considerably less research addresses the ease of use or user experience [5] of these systems. The focus points of this thesis will include what methods of teleoperating robots work best, is the easiest to learn, least exhausting or most fun?
