RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
The remote control of sub-sea robots is very difficult for the human operator, due to the unpredictable environments, limited visual and haptic feedback, and slow vehicle dynamics.
Haptics and automation in subsea industries “HAPTIC FEEDBACK CREATES AWARENESS OF WHAT A MACHINE IS DOING, GIVING THE HUMAN OPERATOR INSIGHT INTO HOW THE MACHINE IS BEHAVING.” ROEL KUIPER – RESEARCH & Development Engineer at Dutch subsea specialist Seatools – is talking about the potential benefits to be gained from haptic feedback in the challenging environment of the subsea world.
