Abstract

Telerobot Configuration Editor (TCE) is an iconic graphical user interface based on X Windows environment. TCE offers an easy way to configure a complex telerobotic system, which requires numerous parameter settings to access the full capabilities of the system. The screen layout design of TCE is done by utilizing various visual coding mechanisms, such as color and brightness, to make the hierarchical structure of the TCE visible to the user. Two key features, the macro configuration buttons and the system access levels, have been incorporated into TCE design. The macro configuration buttons can store the full or a partial set of configuration parameters, and these macros can be used as high level configuration parameters that are well suited to the physicaltasks such as peg insertion task. The system access levels limit the user access to the system, based on their ability and their need. These two features allow TCE to be a flexible and effective interface suited to be used by any userthat needs to configure a telerobotic system.
