Performance evaluation of a six-axis generalized force-reflecting teleoperator

Hannaford, B., Wood, L., McAffee, D.A., Zak, H.·1991·IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics

Abstract

Recent work in real-time distributed computation and control has culminated in a prototype force-reflecting telemanipulation system having dissimilar master (cable-driven force-reflecting hand controller) and slave (PUMA 560 robot with custom controller), extremely high sampling rate (1000 Hz), and low loop computation delay (5 ms). In a series of experiments with this system and five trained test operators covering more than 100 h of teleoperation, performance in a series of generic and application-driven tasks with and without force feedback was measured, and with control shared between teleoperation and local sensor referenced control. Measurements defining task performance include 100-Hz recording of six-axis force-torque information, task completion time, and visual observation of predefined task errors. It is shown that all performance measures improved as capability was added along a spectrum of capabilities ranging from pure position control through force-reflecting teleoperation and shared control. Performance was maximal for the barehanded operator.>

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
