Adjustment of tele-operator learning when provided with different levels of sensor support while driving mobile robots

A quantitative and qualitative empirical evaluation is presented to show the effect of providing some sensor support during driving lessons as a tele-operator learns to drive a mobile robot. Different levels of sensor support were provided and the effect on training was measured. Different levels of force feedback were provided through a joystick. Results are presented and conclusions drawn about the way that tele-operators behave during driving tasks.
