Understanding the properties of a distant environment through the sensors on a robot is much more difficult and error prone as compared to the same perceptual judgments when the human observer is directly present in that environment. In other words, human observers have difficulty perceiving the affordances of the environment such as passability, traversability, and reachability when a robot mediates their access to the environment. This thesis presents the results of a study that measures the ability of human observers to perceive the affordance reachability using simulations of three different robots that vary in their camera configurations. Two are based on robots currently in use, and the third is a novel approach to human-robot systems that considers them a perceptual system. Observer perception of reachability varied across the three systems. Measuring the ability to perceive affordances provides a means to assess a robot as a human-sensor system. This approach contrasts with current methods, which focus on evaluating human-robot systems in search tasks (e.g., counts of targets, areas visited). 2013-09-27 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1374144285 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1374144285 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
