Abstract. Haptic feedback force is often suggested to complement visual information through the sense of touch to improve efficiency and safety in the teleoperation of mobile robot. The efficiency and safety of teleoperation are strongly dependent upon how haptic feedback is presented to the operator. In this study a haptic feedback scheme for teleoperation of mobile robot is developed and its effectiveness is experimentally verified. Experimental results show that the developed scheme improves the quality of mobile robot teleoperation in terms of improvement in efficiency and safety
