Still not solved: A call for renewed focus on user-centered teleoperation interfaces

DJ Rea, SH Seo - Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Teleoperation is one of the oldest applications of human-robot interaction, yet decades later,
robots are still difficult to control in a variety of situations, especially when used by non …

Social robotics for nonsocial teleoperation: Leveraging social techniques to impact teleoperator performance and experience

DJ Rea, SH Seo, JE Young - Current Robotics Reports, 2020 - Springer
Abstract Purpose of Review Research has demonstrated the potential for robotic interfaces
to leverage human-like social interaction techniques, for example, autonomous social robots …

How automatic speed control based on distance affects user behaviours in telepresence robot navigation within dense conference-like environments

AU Batmaz, J Maiero, E Kruijff, BE Riecke… - Plos one, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Telepresence robots allow users to be spatially and socially present in remote

It's not what you think: shaping beliefs about a robot to influence a teleoperator's expectations and behavior

DJ Rea, JE Young - Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2023 - frontiersin.org
In this paper we present a novel design approach for shaping a teleoperator's expectations
and behaviors when teleoperating a robot. Just as how people may drive a car differently …

It's all in your head: Using priming to shape an operator's perceptions and behavior during teleoperation

DJ Rea, JE Young - Proceedings of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
Perceptions of a technology can shape the way the technology is used and adopted. Thus,
in teleoperation, it is important to understand how a teleoperator's perceptions of a robot can …

Backseat teleoperator: affective feedback with on-screen agents to influence teleoperation

DJ Rea, JE Young - 2019 14th ACM/IEEE International …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We investigate if an on-screen agent that reacts to a teleoperator's driving performance (eg,
by showing fear during poor driving) can influence teleoperation. Serving as a kind of virtual …
