Two aspects of human performance are deemed important in this area, namely, the maneuverability of mobile robots and the perceptual sensitivity of the remote environment. We introduce metrics that allow us to address these aspects in two psychophysical studies, which are reported here. Three fundamental haptic cue types were evaluated. The Force cue conveys information on the proximity of the commanded trajectory to obstacles in the remote environment. The Velocity cue represents the mismatch between the commanded and actual velocities of the UAVs and can implicitly provide a rich amount of information regarding the actual behavior of the UAVs. Finally, the Velocity+Force cue is a linear combination of the two. Our experimental results show that, while maneuverability is best supported by the Force cue feedback, perceptual sensitivity is best served by the Velocity cue feedback. In addition, we show that large gains in the haptic feedbacks do not always guarantee an enhancement in the teleoperator's performance.}, url = {http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.defileadmin/user_upload/files/publications/2012/2013a-SonFraChuKimBueRob.pdf}, department = {Department B{\"u}lthoff}, web_url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=\&arnumber=6294459}, DOI = {10.1109/TSMCB.2012.2212884}, author = {Son, HI and Franchi, A and Chuang, LL and Kim, J and B{\"u}lthoff, HH and Robuffo Giordano, P} } @Article { ChoSBLL2011, title = {Gain-Scheduling Control of Teleoperation Systems Interacting With Soft Tissues}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics}, year = {2013}, month = {3}, volume = {60}, number = {3}, pages = {946-957}, abstract = {Surgical teleoperation systems are being increasingly deployed recently. There are, however, some unsolved issues such as nonlinear characteristics of the interaction between the slave robot and soft tissues, and difficulty in employing force sensors in the surgical end-effectors of the slave. These issues make it difficult to generalize any approach to develop a control for the system. This paper addresses these issues by proposing a H1 suboptimal controller preserving robust stability and performance. The environment, i.e., soft tissues, is characterized with the nonlinear Hunt-Crossley model. This nonlinear characteristics of soft tissues are expressed with an affine combination of linear models within a predefined parameter polytope. For this linear parmeter varying system, a gain-scheduling control scheme is employed to design a sub-optimal controller while guaranteeing its stability. To avoid using any force measurement in slave, we used position-position control architecture. The developed gain-scheduling control is validated with quantitative experimental results. The developed gain-scheduling PP control scheme shows good tracking capacity and high transparency for varied experimental conditions. Error of the transmitted impedance is significantly lower compared to other conventional control schemes for frequencies less than 2Hz which is frequently recommended for surgical teleoperation.}, department = {Department B{\"u}lthoff}, web_url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6161639}, DOI = {10.1109/TIE.2012.2189537}, author = {Cho, JH and Son, HI and Bhattacharjee, T and Lee, DG and Lee, DY} } @Article { FranchiSSBR2012, title = {Bilateral Teleoperation of Groups of Mobile Robots with Time-Varying Topology}, journal = {IEEE Transaction on Robotics}, year = {2012}, month = {10}, volume = {28}, number = {5}, pages = {1019-1033}, abstract = {In this paper, a novel decentralized control strategy for bilaterally teleoperating heterogeneous groups of mobile robots from different domains (aerial, ground, marine, and underwater) is proposed.

Simultaneously, the human operator acting on the master side is provided with a suitable force feedback informative of the group response and of the interaction with the surrounding environment.

Two performance metrics are defined to quantify the kinesthetic perception of the surgeons and the position tracking ability of the master–slave system. Kinesthetic perception is defined based on psychophysics by using two metrics, which relate to the detection and discrimination of stimulus. This paper then employs a multiconstrained optimization approach to get an optimal solution in the presence of the stability-performance tradeoff wherein the objective is to enhance the kinesthetic perception while maintaining the tracking and robust stability for interactions between macro and microworlds. Simplified stability constraints for scaled teleoperation systems are designed based on Llewellyn's absolute stability criterion for the optimization procedure, which provides easy and effective design guidelines for selecting control gains. Experiments with phantom soft tissues have been conducted using scaled force–position control architecture, scaled position–position control architecture, and scaled four-channel control architecture to verify the proposed control scheme.

The two-channel force-position control architecture is widely used in teleoperation systems with haptic feedback for its better force-tracking characteristics and superior position-tracking capacity for the maximum stability margin. This control architecture, however, requires force sensors at the end-effector of the slave robot to measure the environment force. However, it is difficult to attach force sensors to slave robots, mainly due to their large size, insulation issues and also large currents often flowing through the end-effector for incision or cautery of tissues. Methods This paper provides a method to estimate the environment force, using a function parameter matrix and a recursive least-squares method. The estimated force is used to feed back the force information to the surgeon through the control architecture without involving the force sensors. Results The simulation and experimental results verify the efficacy of the proposed method. The force estimation error is negligible and the slave device successfully tracks the position of the master device while the stability of the teleoperation system is maintained.

Performance metrics based on the human teleoperator's frequency response function indicate that maneuverability performance is best supported by a haptic feedback algorithm which is based on an obstacle avoidance force.}, url = {http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.defileadmin/user_upload/files/publications/2011/IROS-2011-Son.pdf}, department = {Department B{\"u}lthoff}, web_url = {http://www.iros2011.org/}, editor = {Amato, N.M.}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscatawy, NJ, USA}, event_place = {San Francisco, CA, USA}, event_name = {IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2011)}, ISBN = {978-1-61284-454-1}, DOI = {10.1109/IROS.2011.6048185}, author = {Son, HI and Chuang, LL and Franchi, A and Kim, J and Lee, D and Lee, S-W and B{\"u}lthoff, HH and Robuffo Giordano, P} } @Inproceedings { SonKCFRLB2011, title = {An Evaluation of Haptic Cues on the Tele-Operator's Perceptual Awareness of Multiple UAVs' Environments}, year = {2011}, month = {6}, pages = {149-154}, abstract = {The use of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is increasingly being incorporated into a wide range of teleoperation applications. To date, relevant research has largely been focused on the development of appropriate control schemes. In this paper, we extend previous research by investigating how control performance could be improved by providing the teleoperator with haptic feedback cues. First, we describe a control scheme that allows a teleoperator to manipulate the flight of multiple UAVs in a remote environment. Next, we present three designs of haptic cue feedback that could increase the teleoperator's environmental awareness of such a remote environment. These cues are based on the UAVs' i) velocity information, ii) proximity to obstacles, and iii) a combination of these two sources of information. Finally, we present an experimental evaluation of these haptic cue designs. Our evaluation is based on the teleoperator's perceptual sensitivity to the physical environment inhabited by the multiple UAVs. We conclude that a teleoperator's perceptual sensitivity is best served by haptic feedback cues that are based on the velocity information of multiple UAVs.}, url = {http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.defileadmin/user_upload/files/publications/2011/WHC-2011-Son.pdf}, department = {Department B{\"u}lthoff}, web_url = {http://www.haptics2011.org/en/}, editor = {Jones, L. , M.

The environment, i.e., soft tissues, is characterized with the nonlinear Hunt-Crossley model. The overall teleoperation system is modeled as a linear parameter-varying system. A gain-scheduling control scheme is adapted to design a performance-optimized controller while guaranteeing robust stability.
