| Tele-operation means controlling a system, namely a robot, from a distance. The human operator controls the robot by sending control commands to the robot and receiving feedback from the robot over a communication network in order to correct his/her actions. The transfer of information over a network is likely to introduce delays in the system, which affects the performance of the operator controlling a remote robot.;The experimental results show that the task level of difficulty increases with increasing delay leading to frustration; this resulted in increased task completion time and errors. The training leads to learning resulting in fewer errors; therefore, augments the quality of doing the task.;The research explores the effect of homogeneous delays in a sub second range on the human operator controlling a remote robot. We conducted a usability study in order to test the performance of using a tele-robotic system when subjected to delays. |
