英文摘要 (Abstract)
A fundamental challenge in robotic teleoperation is enabling an operator to control a remote robot as effortlessly and intuitively as their own hands. Despite the growing use of teleoperation to collect demonstration data for training autonomous robot policies, teleoperated robot performance still falls significantly short of human dexterity, even for basic tasks. Here, we present evidence that a key factor contributing to this performance gap is the absence of spatially distributed tactile feedback. Using a two-degree-of-freedom (DoF) bilateral force-feedback telemanipulator paired with a 32-DoF tactile fingertip display, we show that operator performance improves significantly when localized deformations on the remote manipulator are faithfully reproduced on the operator's fingertip. In a series of teleoperation tasks, reproducing distributed contact information not only accelerated task performance but also brought teleoperated movements closer to natural human behavior by minimizing corrective actions and task completion steps, thereby reducing the deviation between teleoperated and natural trajectories by 29$\unicode{x2013}$79%. Furthermore, we found that increasing the resolution of the tactile feedback$\unicode{x2014}$by refining how finely the measured displacements were quantized for reproduction$\unicode{x2014}$compressed the state-space distribution of teleoperated motions, which has been associated with improved training outcomes for autonomous robot policies. Together, these results suggest that spatially distributed tactile feedback is essential for closing the gap between human and teleoperated dexterity and training the next generation of autonomous robots.
