Human operator control of a bilateral teleoperator in part-simulation of zero gravityRemote manipulators (teleoperators) are defined as mechanical devices which extend human manipulative ability to operational environments which are either hostile to or remote from the human operator. Teleoperation involves the explicit and active inclusion of the human operator (HO) in the system control loop. An investigation of human/teleoperator control interactions in the orbital operational environment has been conducted, taking into account the employment of a model describing human neuromotor control as a linear damped harmonic oscillator. The application of this model for the specification of the end point position in teleoperator control is explored, and two experiments are conducted. The results indicate the potential utility of relatively simple models of neuromotor control processes in investigating the interaction of the human operator and controller in teleoperation.
