An orbiting control station for free-flying teleoperators - Preliminary design methodology

This paper summarizes work being done to develop the preliminary design of a control station for the free-flying teleoperator/telerobot ROBIN. The four-step development process involves telerobot capability definition, mission analysis, requirements generation, and design solution. The ROBIN servomanipulator requirements are listed, and a telerobotic control station requirement tree is shown.

Man/machine interface development for the REMOTEX concept

The development of a man/machine interface system that can be used to remotely control a system composed of a transporter base and a force-reflecting, survocontrolled manipulator is reported. The concept features the incorporation of totally remote operation. A simulator is build to optimize man/machine interface requirements.

Identification of cognitive factors related to remote work performance using closed circuit TV displays

Operator perceptual cognitive styles as predictors of remote task performance were identified. Remote tasks which require the use of servo controlled master/slave manipulators and closed circuit television for teleoperator repair and maintenance of nuclear fuel recycling systems are examined. A useful procedure for identifying such perceptual styles is described.
