Remotely Operating Robotic Systems

As a graduate student in Santa Clara University's Robotic Systems Laboratory, I participated in two projects centered around tele-operation of robotic systems. The first was a field study on the remote operation of an underwater ROV, Triton. The research was centered around the effects of delayed feedback and their impact on successfully piloting a vehicle. For the study, my team had to construct the haptic interface for operation, the control module which allowed for specific latency to be introduced, and an algorithm to capture the results.

The second project related to the user interface of remotely operated vehicles.
