Remote control offers increased efficiency, safe working environments for operators, the ability to quickly switch between controlled objects, and logistical ease in the oversight of autonomous operating systems. However, it also changes the operator role and introduces new human-machine interactions. Consequently, the way people acquire situation awareness is changed. This webinar will focus on the challenges that operators of remote systems face such as motion sickness and situation awareness, culminating in a discussion of the research and regulation needs in this domain.
