Enhancing the effectiveness of human-robot teaming with a closed-loop system.

Applied ergonomics
With technological developments in robotics and their increasing deployment, human-robot teams are set to be a mainstay in the future. To develop robots that possess teaming capabilities, such as being able to communicate implicitly, the present stud...

Controlling robots in the home: Factors that affect the performance of novice robot operators.

Applied ergonomics
For robots to successfully integrate into everyday life, it is important that they can be effectively controlled by laypeople. However, the task of manually controlling mobile robots can be challenging due to demanding cognitive and sensorimotor requ...

Experimental evaluation of a novel robotic hospital bed mover with omni-directional mobility.

Applied ergonomics
Bed pushing during patient transfer is one of the most physically demanding and yet common tasks in the hospital setting. Powered bed movers have been increasingly introduced to hospitals to reduce physiological strains on the users. This study intro...

HRI usability evaluation of interaction modes for a teleoperated agricultural robotic sprayer.

Applied ergonomics
Teleoperation of an agricultural robotic system requires effective and efficient human-robot interaction. This paper investigates the usability of different interaction modes for agricultural robot teleoperation. Specifically, we examined the overall...

Comparison of three different techniques for camera and motion control of a teleoperated robot.

Applied ergonomics
This research aims to evaluate new methods for robot motion control and camera orientation control through the operator's head orientation in robot teleoperation tasks. Specifically, the use of head-tracking in a non-invasive way, without immersive v...

Classifying work rate from heart rate measurements using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system.

Applied ergonomics
In a new approach based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), field heart rate (HR) measurements were used to classify work rate into four categories: very light, light, moderate, and heavy. Inter-participant variability (physiological a...

Designing for designers: insights into the knowledge users of inclusive design.

Applied ergonomics
Over the last twenty years, research on inclusive design has delivered a wealth of publications and initiatives, forming an emerging knowledge base for inclusive design. The inclusive design knowledge base breaks down into two discrete areas - unders...
