Figure 10: The mode panel shows the current autonomy mode the robot is in. The background color and

highlighted button will change depending what mode the robot is in.

The mode panel, shown in figure 10, has remained the same in all of our interface versions. Its

purpose is to indicate which mode the robot is currently in. It does this by highlighting the

current button, as well has changing the background color to the color associated with the

current mode. Teleop mode is red, Safe mode is green, Shared mode is gold and Escape mode

is blue. The location of this panel has changed from being on the bottom of the main video

screen to the top in the newest version.

The status panel, shown in figure 11, provides all the status information about the robot. This

information includes the battery level, the robot's maximum speed level and whether or not the

lighting system is on or off. This information is considered less mission critical, than the

previously mentioned panels. This is all information that the user may want to know at some

point throughout the deployment, but it is not considered critical to mission success, unless it

drops too low.

Due to the less important nature of this information, this panel does not need to follow the rule

that all information should be on or around the main video screen. Certainly, a mission cannot

be completed with a dead battery, but the user doesn't need to see the current battery health on

the video screen constantly to have real-time success. In all versions of the interface, except the

paper prototype, this panel has been relegated to the bottom right corner of the interface.

Figure 11: The status panel. Generally the information is not mission critical, but it is good to have access. This

information includes battery life, the lighting system status, current time and the max speed setting of the robot.

Michael Baker’s masters thesis research was about providing suggestions to the operator to help
