Abstract

Certain tele-manipulation tasks require manipulation by two asymmetric slaves, for example a crane for hoisting and a dexterous robotic arm for fine manipulation. It is unclear how to best design human-in-the-loop control over two asymmetric slaves. The goal of this paper is to quantitatively compare the standard approach of two co-operating operators that each control a single subtask, to a single operator performing bimanual control over the two subtasks, and a uni-manual control approach.
