Evaluation of Mapping with a Tele-operated Robot with Video Feedback

The first level includes using senses such as visual, auditory and tactile to gain information about the surrounding environment. On the second level, the disjointed data from level 1 is synthesized, evaluated and prioritized in relation to the present goal to form an understanding of the current state. On the third level, the knowledge from prior levels is used to predict the oncoming future. A subsequent level depends on the fulfillment of previous. Thus, level 1 needs to be accomplished prior to level 2 and in the same way level 2 has to be reached prior to level 3. Abstract — This research has examined robot operators’ abilities to gain situational awareness while performing tele-operation with video feedback. The research included a user study in which 20 test persons explored and drew a map of
