Human Factors of Teleoperation. How much information is lost when viewing the world through the ‘eyes’ of a robot? Our research focuses on answering this question and discovering ways to improve the performance of operators while teleoperating remote robots. Our group is currently performing both basic and applied research studies focused on this issue. Christopher Pagano

Interface design for Novel Robotic Limbs. In collaboration with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Clemson we are helping to design the operator interface for novel robotic limbs. Our laboratory performs usability tests on the controls and interface and provides recommendations for future iterations of the robotic arms. Christopher Pagano
