Grasping Task in Teleoperation: Impact of Virtual Dashboard on Task Quality and Effectiveness

This research study investigates the impact of a virtual dashboard on the quality of task execution in robotic teleoperation. More specifically, this study investigates how a virtual dashboard improves user awareness and grasp precision in a teleoperated pick-and-place task by providing users with critical information in real-time. An experiment was conducted with 30 participants in a robotic teleoperated task to measure their task performance in two different experimental conditions: a control group used conventional interfaces, and an experimental group utilized the virtual dashboard with additional information. Research findings indicate that integrating a virtual dashboard improves grasping accuracy, reduces user fatigue, and speeds up task completion, thereby improving task effectiveness and the quality of the experience.
