MR-GLi: Mixed Reality-Based Gripper-Linked Overlays for Underwater Robot Arm Teleoperation via Bilateral Control
arXiv:2609.16041v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual torque feedback supports underwater bilateral teleoperation, but the benefit of mixed reality (MR) over conventional monitor presentation remains unclear. We present MR-GLi, an MR interface that spatially registers a reaction torque indicator and wrist-camera image to the robot gripper. Twenty participants performed lift and pick-and-place tasks with rigid and compliant objects in a counterbalanced within-subject comparison with a 2D monito

arXiv:2609.16041v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual torque feedback supports underwater bilateral teleoperation, but the benefit of mixed reality (MR) over conventional monitor presentation remains unclear. We present MR-GLi, an MR interface that spatially registers a reaction torque indicator and wrist-camera image to the robot gripper. Twenty participants performed lift and pick-and-place tasks with rigid and compliant objects in a counterbalanced within-subject comparison with a 2D monitor, using identical visual-feedback content and four-channel bilateral control. MR-GLi provided gripper-linked access to visual feedback while maintaining a similar level of torque-regulation performance to the 2D monitor. Subjective evaluation further indicated reduced perceived burden associated with shifting attention between the workspace and visual feedback. These results demonstrate the feasibility of gripper-linked MR overlays for underwater bilateral teleoperation and highlight the importance of considering information access in addition to task performance.
