Evaluation of Control Interfaces for a Hexapod Robot in a Remote Operating Environment: The field of legged robotics is quickly evolving to changes in technology and the requirements of their op- erating environment. With an increasing emphasis on robotic exploration and operation in search and rescue and military environments comes the need for designing efficient control interfaces for human operators. While significant work has been done on this topic in the control of aerial and wheeled systems, comparatively little research has been focused on the unique control needs of legged systems in remote operating environments. This work aims to be a preliminary study to help prepare for future research into this realm. Two different control interfaces for a hexapod robot are presented along with a general framework for measuring the situational awareness of the operator when controlling the system in a remote operating environment. Results show that there are many considerations regarding training time, data collection, and proper analysis to be considered for any future work. More information available in the paper.
