Bimanual cross-coupling in space telerobotics
… and subsequent performance in a simulated space telerobotics track and capture task, suggesting that an intramanual coupling metric may be useful as a predictor of human telerobotic performance. The test technique could ultimately be applied to evaluate cross-coupling during astronaut training …

Self-customized electronic procedures for Just In Time training of space telerobotics
… this approach reduces errors when a space telerobotics task is performed for the first time. To answer this, an experiment was carried out over two days on a desktop robotics simulator. On Day 1, all subjects (n=14) were trained to criterion on robotics skills, and were required to pass a …

Influence of spatial abilities on primary and secondary space telerobotics operator performance
Teleoperated manipulators have been invaluable tools during space missions. Arm operators work in pairs, with the primary operator controlling the arm and the secondary operator assisting by monitoring arm clearance and helping to avoid singularities. Individual ability to manipulate the arm and …

INTERFACE EVALUATION AND OPERATOR PERFORMANCE PREDICTION, APPLIED TO A TELEROBOTIC CASE-STUDY.
… to the operator needs. To address the former, a telerobotics user study was conducted, where 27 subjects performed a teleoperated cutting task, while performance, physiological and behavioral data was collected. Four telerobotic interfaces with different control and visual designs were developed …
