Quality of Control Assessment for Tactile Cyber-Physical Systems
2019
In this paper, we evolve a methodology and define a metric to evaluate Tactile Cyber-Physical Systems (TCPS). Towards this goal, we adopt the step response analysis, a well-known control theoretic method. The adoption includes replacing the human operator (or master) with a controller with known characteristics and analyzing its response to slave side haptic sensor step changes. The resulting step response curves demonstrate that the Quality of Control (QoC) metric is sensitive to control loop instabilities and serves as a good indicator of cybersickness experienced by human operators. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed methodology and metric through experiments on a TCPS testbed. The experiments include assessing the suitability of several access technologies, intercontinental links and testbed configurations.
