Spelt, Philip F. and Jones, Sammy L. (1994): Operator-Centered Control of a Semi-Autonomous Industrial Telerobot. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1048-1051.

This paper presents work done by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Remotec, Inc., to develop a new operator-centered control system for Remotec's Andros telerobot. Andros robots are presently used by numerous electric utilities, the armed forces, and numerous law enforcement agencies to perform tasks which are hazardous for human operators. This project has automated task components and enhanced the video graphics display of the robot's position in the environment to significantly reduce operator workload. The procedure of automating a telerobot requires the addition of computer power to the robot, along with a variety of sensors and encoders to provide information about the robot's performance in and relationship to its environment. The resulting vehicle serves as a platform for research on strategies to integrate automated tasks with those performed by a human operator. The addition of these capabilities will greatly enhance the safety and efficiency of performance in hazardous environments.
