Abstract:

Operation of the man-machine interface should be easy and intuitive for efficient works when using a remote-controlled underwater backhoe. Moreover, operation is preferable to be unwearying. Tiredness in the operation of the backhoe front part by the similar-figure-interface becomes a serious matter of concern in the site experiment of an underwater backhoe. The aim of this research is to evaluate the operativeness of the joystick-type-interface that is newly proposed. The operativeness of the joystick and that of the similar-figure-interface were compared in the pointing experiment.
