ABSTRACT
This paper presents a novel acceptability study of a tele-assistive robotic nurse for human-robot collaboration in medical environments. We designed a telepresence robotic platform with multi-modal interaction framework, which provides haptic tele-operative control, gesture control, and voice command for the robotic system to achieve a mobile manipulative goal. We then performed a pilot user study to experience the robotic control scenarios and analyze the acceptability of our robotic system in terms of usability and safety criteria. This paper then presents the analysis results on surveys from 11 participants and concludes that the gesture-based control is the most difficult for users and the voice-based control is easier while safety is not assured.

Immersive environment for robotic tele-operation
AIR '15: Proceedings of the 2015 Conference on Advances In RoboticsIn various modern day situations, controlling a robot from a remote location is essential due to hazardous environmental conditions (for human operators) near the robot. Thus arises the need for an intuitive user interface for tele-operation, which must ...
