Control loops with human operators in space operations: part II: robotics operations and manual control experiment

In the study "Control loops with human operators" this volume is concerned with the robot arm case. Servicing of satellites and assembly of space structures require robotic operations. These operations are controlled from the ground by human operators. Five operational modes for the combined space- and ground segment are defined: - high level...

Control loops with human operators in space operations: part IV: research requirements for human-in-the-loop space teleoperator development

This report presents a discussion of short-term human engineering research requirements for developing rendezvous and docking and space telemanipulation capabilities. A catalogue of research topics related to human-in-the-loop teleoperation performance is given. This is followed by an overview of available resources for model analytical...

Control loops with human operators in space operations: part V: executive summary

This volume comprises the executive summary of the final report of the study on Control Loops with Human Operators in Space Operations, performed for the European Space Agency (ESA). It summarises the following four volumes: Part I : Human Engineering Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation Techniques (NLR) Part II : Robotics Operations and Manual...

Control loops with human operators in space operations: part III: rendezvous and docking operations and model analysis of performance with human-in-the-loop

This report presents the results of an illustrative analysis of human-in-the-loop rendezvous and docking (RVD) performance, for the purpose of demonstrating the practicality of applying human engineering methods and techniques, introduced in Part I of this project, to the analysis of control loops with human operators in space operations....
