• Virtual Telepresence for the Future of ROV Teleoperations: Opportunities and Challenges

  Day 2 Tue, February 22, 2022 · 2022 · 24 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  Underwater robots, including Remote Operating Vehicles (ROV) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), are currently used to support underwater missions that are either impossible or too risky to be performed by manned systems. In recent years the academia and robotic industry have paved paths for tackling technical challenges for ROV/AUV operations. The level of intelligence of ROV/AUV has increased dramatically because of the recent advances in low-power-consumption embedded computing devices…

• Human‐centered intelligent training for emergency responders

  AI Magazine · 2022 · 19 citations

  Abstract Emergency response (ER) workers perform extremely demanding physical and cognitive tasks that can result in serious injuries and loss of life. Human augmentation technologies have the potential to enhance physical and cognitive work‐capacities, thereby dramatically transforming the landscape of ER work, reducing injury risk, improving ER, as well as helping attract and retain skilled ER workers. This opportunity has been significantly hindered by the lack of high‐quality training for ER…

• ROV Teleoperation based on Sensory Augmentation and Digital Twins

  Offshore Technology Conference · 2023-04-23 · 9 citations

  articleSenior author

  Abstract ROV operations are mainly performed via a traditional control kiosk and limited data feedback methods, such as the use of joysticks and camera view displays equipped on a surface vessel. This traditional setup requires significant personnel on board (POB) time and imposes high requirements for personnel training. This paper proposes a virtual reality (VR) based haptic-visual ROV teleoperation system that can substantially simplify ROV teleoperation and enhance the remote operator's situ…

• Identifying Early Predictors of Learning in VR-based Drone Training

  Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting · 2022-09-01 · 9 citations

  article

  The use of small unmanned aerial systems, or drones, has grown rapidly in recent years, but the FAA has no formal requirement for hands-on training. Physical drone training has major limitations, and virtual reality (VR) offers a promising alternative. This study sought to identify early performance markers of learning in VR-based drone training using a physical controller. 14 participants completed a customized VR-based drone training curriculum, while performance metrics, perceptions of worklo…
