Haptic Assistance Evaluation for the Teleoperation of a Mobile Robot by Means of Stress Analysis

Abstract

This paper presents a method for evaluating haptic assistance algorithms in teleoperation systems, based on the recording of stress levels on telemarketers. The teleoperation’s system architecture of a mobile robot with haptic feedback is described. The registration of neuro-signals using a computer brain interface. The experimental tests that allowed demonstrating the method’s effectiveness are presented. It was possible to determine which method allows to detect work environment’s atypical situations and zones that require a change in the haptic assistance’s level.
