Abstract:Teleoperated robots are increasingly employed in environments requiring precision and safety. However, system errors remain inevitable; therefore, appropriate error recovery solutions are needed. This study investigates how different error recovery strategies influence operator performance and behaviour during a teleoperation task. Three strategies were tested: smooth recovery, rapid recovery, and no recovery, using a within-subject design. Performance metrics included hit scores and unclutching behaviour, while qualitative feedback provided insights into user preferences and experiences. Results indicated no significant overall effect of recovery strategy on performance, though post hoc analysis revealed differences between specific strategies. User preferences significantly impacted performance, highlighting the importance of aligning system behaviour with operator expectations. The findings underscore the need for adaptive recovery strategies tailored to user needs, enhancing the effectiveness of teleoperated systems. Future research should explore larger participant samples and incorporate physiological measures to deepen understanding of operator responses to error recovery.
