Cognitive and Behavioural Effects of Haptic Feedback for ROV Teleoperation in Hazardous Environments
Cognitive and Behavioural Effects of Haptic Feedback for ROV Teleoperation in Hazardous Environments
This paper investigates how haptic feedback influences operator performance when teleoperating a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in complex underwater environments with unseen hazards.
The study provides empirical evidence from an in-water experiment that haptic feedback mitigates physical and temporal demands during ROV teleoperation in hazardous cross-currents, though it increases mental demand and operator frustration; results indicate improved navigation speed and confidence despite higher cognitive load.

uch environments. An in-water study is analysed with a ROV exposed to controlled cross-currents, with environmental information presented via a soft and vibrating haptic touchpad. Results demonstrate that while encountering an unseen cross-current significantly increases an operator's physical and temporal demand, the introduction of haptic feedback mitigates these factors and improves self-assessed performance.

arXiv:2611.06689v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Teleoperating a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in complex underwater environments presents unique challenges. Dynamic, three dimensional obstacles and unseen water currents pose real risks to expensive robotic hardware in environments in which recovery can be next to impossible. This paper explores the cognitive effects of haptic feedback to improve vehicle safety in s
