Torque Feedback Moved Onto the Underwater Gripper
Twenty operators reported less attention-shifting burden with registered mixed-reality overlays and similar torque regulation.
Summary
Twenty operators reported less attention-shifting burden with registered mixed-reality overlays and similar torque regulation.
Underwater bilateral teleoperation can show reaction torque on a monitor, forcing the operator to shift attention between feedback and the workspace. MR-GLi spatially registers the torque indicator and wrist-camera view to the robot gripper. Twenty participants lifted and moved rigid and compliant objects in a counterbalanced comparison against the same feedback on a two-dimensional monitor. Torque-regulation performance remained similar, while subjective reports indicated less burden from shifting attention. The result supports information placement, not superior task performance or field readiness.
