Abstract
Introduction. This study investigated the relationship between spatial perception abilities and robot operation under direct-line-of-sight and teleoperation viewing conditions. This study was an effort to determine if spatial ability testing may be a useful tool in the selection of human-robot interaction (HRI) operators. Method. Participants completed eight cognitive measures and operated one of four types of robots under tasks of low and high difficulty. Performance for each participant was tested during both direct-line-of-sight and teleoperation. Results. Spatial abilities are shown to be reliable predictors of directline-of-sight and teleoperation performance. Participants in this study with higher spatial abilities completed their tasks faster and with fewer errors. Participants with higher spatial abilities were also more successful at completing the task. Discussion. Applications of these findings are discussed in terms of teleoperator selection tools, HRI training, and human-centered design recommendations.
