Multi robots Teleoperation

Projects

Multi-robots' organization has always been a very active field of research.
Some efficient solutions have been found to organize several robots in order to realize a task in a certain context. However, one of the most important issue concerns the way a human has to ask commands to those complex systems, and how he perceives feedback.
We consider here the case of one user that have to teleoperate several robots.
Through the VIRAT platform, we are building experiments in order to evaluate the best paradigms of interaction for one teleoperator, working for example on user's perception of the distant environment or his natural way to give commands to a group. As a consequence, we are developing new interfaces and metaphors, tools that adapt the best interfaces according to the current user and the context, tools that spread his commands and organize robots' actions and coordination, etc.
