PSYCHOPHYSICS, SOFT-HAPTICS AND INFORMATION ACQUISITION FOR INTERNET-BASED ROBOTIC TELEOPERATION

Abstract

This article discusses the basic ideas and the practical applications of information acquisition in relation to psychophysics theory as implemented via the Soft-Haptics concept for Internet-based robotic teleoperation systems. In specific, a study on using acoustic display for navigation applications in Internet-based robot teleoperation is presented via psychophysics tests and experimental studies of the Internet-based teleoperated robotic systems to illustrate the ideas and concepts of this paper.
