Abstract

This paper presents a brief discussion of the requirements for user interfaces for teleoperation of mining vehicles and systems. Current commercial interfaces are relatively simple, evolving from line-of-sight remote control systems with the addition of video displays. This level of sophistication has nonetheless allowed teleoperation to be a viable and profitable technique. CSIRO Exploration and Mining research into interface design currently concentrates on fusion of non-visual feedback to the operator and efficient presentation of such information. Case studies based on user interfaces for two experimental teleoperated mining-related systems, the Numbat mine emergency response vehicle and remote highwall mining control systems are described. In both cases the purpose of the user interface is to satisfy the major client requirements for mining systems of robustness, reliability and ease of use by site operational and support personnel.
