Spatial Auditory HMI for UxV Teleoperation

Abstract

University of Zagreb Laboratory for Underwater Systems and Technologies (LABUST) proposes a novel effort to research use of auditory displays to enhance teleoperation of unmanned vehicles. This lab has previously demonstrated auditory displays used in conjunction with visual displays can produce improved spatial auditory cues for effective guidance of unmanned vehicles. They propose to develop an interface appropriate for teleoperation of unmanned vehicles that relies more heavily on auditory cues, with potential capability to have little or no visual guidance cues. They also will develop open-source based algorithms for system testing and training, which will be important for potential proliferation of this novel approach. Use of existing LABUST unmanned vehicles as well as planned collaboration with the NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) will seriously reduce the overall cost to conduct this research and test the developed interface and algorithms in mission scenarios applicable to the USN.
