Abstract

With the development of construction robotics and cutting-edge technologies, the construction of sustainable habitats on the lunar surface has become a feasible goal. However, full automation technology and utilization of construction robots are limited, and collaboration with operators is inevitable in an uncertain and dangerous space construction environment. This paper studied the effect of communication delay on work performance, operator’s cognitive workload, and behavior change during construction teleoperation work. This study will contribute to understanding the operator's situation perception and behavioral changes and improving human-robot cooperation in space construction work when working on teleoperation under delayed conditions.

건설로봇과 첨단기술의 발달로 달 표면에 지속 가능한 서식지의 건설이 실현가능한 목표가 되었다. 하지만 건설 로봇 완전 자동화 기술은 여전히 제한적이며, 불확실하고 위험한 건설 환경에서 그 활용을 기대하기란 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 원격조종 기술을 활용한 건설작업 시, 커뮤니케이션 지연시간에 따른 작업 성과, 오퍼레이터의 작업부하 및 행동변화에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 지연시간은 원격조종 작업시간 및 인간-로봇 상호작용에 작업부하를 증가시킴을 검증하였다. 본 연구는 추후 다양한 지연시간 조건에서의 원격조종 작업 시, 오퍼레이터의 상황인지 및 행동변화를 보다 더 잘 이해하고, 우주건설 작업에서의 인간-로봇 협업을 향상시키는 연구에 기여할 것이다.
