Vehicle Teleoperation
Projects
In teleoperation the information flow between the ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) and the operator affects significatively the operator's dexterousness and efficiency. Using the kinesthetic platform we can simulate the motion of the ROV and give motion sensation to the operator. This increases the level of immersion of the operator in the remote scenario.

Currently the kinesthetic platform is used for teleoperation of different kind of ROVs, from a one to one scale electric vehicle to a small sized ROV. It is used in combination with classical teleoperation human machine interfaces with video, audio and force feedback. The different combination of stimuli and interfaces and the effects on the operator and teleoperation activity is one of the main research fields of TERA.
