Domain Overview - Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)

In 2004, we started looking at user interfaces for operators of EOD robots.

To date we have modified our NIST Standard Arenas to include EOD tasks and have had several EOD robots go through the Arenas. We collect the videos of the robots, the user interfaces, and the operator. We measure the time and the success of the task.

We also collect workload measures from the operator. We then analyze the videos to determine interactions such as mode changes, movements between screen and other input devices, switches between driving, arm manipulation, etc. to determine any correlations with operator workload.

{We don’t have publications here yet, but there are some presentations and photos of testing}
