IGF::OT::IGF IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO CREATE AUTONOMOUS ROBOTIC CAPABILITIES THAT MATCH WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED VIA TELEOPERATION. EVEN THOUGH IT IS MECHANICALLY POSSIBLE FOR A HUMANOID ROBOT SUCH AS ROBONAUT 2 TO PERFORM COMPLEX COORDINATED TASKS SUCH AS TYING A KNOT, EXCHANGING OBJECTS BETWEEN END EFFECTORS, PLUGGING IN CONNECTORS, UNSCREWING A CAP, OPENING A DOOR, OR GRASPING LARGE OBJECTS WITH TWO HANDS, OUR LACK OF PLANNING ALGORITHMS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THESE BEHAVIORS AUTONOMOUSLY. THE LACK OF PLANNING AND CONTROL ALGORITHMS ALSO IMPEDES HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION AS IT IS DIFFICULT FOR MANIPULATION ROBOTS TO PLAN ARM TRAJECTORIES IN REAL-TIME USING ACTIVE SENSING TO AVOID COLLISIONS WITH HUMANS. THIS PROPOSAL IS TO DEVELOP A SUITE OF PLANNING AND CONTROL ALGORITHMS THAT WILL ENABLE NASA ROBOTS TO PERFORM COMPLEX MANIPULATION BEHAVIORS IN A COORDINATED WAY. THIS WORK WOULD BENEFIT NASA BY MAKING NASA ROBOTS MORE CAPABLE AND USEFUL DURING AUTONOMOUS TASKS, BY ENABLING REMOTE SUPERVISORS TO COMMAND MORE COMPLEX TASKS, AND BY ENABLING NASA ROBOTS TO OPERATE SAFELY ALONGSIDE HUMANS DURING SHARED TASKS.

BUILDING ON OUR SUCCESSFUL PHASE I TACTILE DATA ENTRY PROGRAM, BARRON ASSOCIATES PROPOSES DEVELOPMENT OF A GLOVE-ENABLED COMPUTER OPERATIONS (GECO) SYSTEM TO PERMIT SUITED CREWMEMBERS TO PERFORM VIRTUAL KEYBOARD/MOUSE INTERACTIONS USING AN INSTRUMENTED EVA GLOVE. THE PHASE II SYSTEM WILL USE TWO-HAND MOTION TRACKING, MULTI-FINGER GESTURE RECOGNITION, AND VIBROTACTILE FEEDBACK TO CREATE AN INTUITIVE HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERFACE THAT MIRRORS FAMILIAR DESKTOP DATA ENTRY MODALITIES. THE PROGRAM WILL DELIVER DEMONSTRATION HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE COMPATIBLE WITH LABORATORY, FIELD, AND ON-ORBIT TESTING OF CREWMEMBER PERFORMANCE IN RELEVANT DATA ENTRY TASKS. THE PROTOTYPE WILL INCLUDE FUNCTIONAL EVA GLOVES WITH INTEGRATED MOTION SENSING AND VIBROTACTILE TRANSDUCERS THAT COUPLE TO EXISTING NASA SUITS VIA A QUICK-CONNECT FITTING. WE WILL PRODUCE RIGHT AND LEFT HAND GLOVES, LOWER ARM SUIT SECTIONS, AND A SPECIALIZED TWO-PORT ACRYLIC GLOVE BOX TO ENABLE HUMAN SUBJECT EVALUATIONS IN A REALISTIC PRESSURIZED ENVIRONMENT. INITIAL TRIALS AT BARRON ASSOCIATES WILL PERMIT REFINEMENT OF DESIGN CONCEPTS, FOLLOWED BY MORE EXTENSIVE USABILITY, COMFORT, AND DURABILITY TESTING AT NASA.
