论文摘要
虚拟现实(VR)作为一种教学工具正在迅速越来越受欢迎。它允许创建一个高度沉浸式的三维虚拟环境,旨在模拟现实生活环境。从制造业到医疗保健,有更多的机器人使该行业饱和,需要培训最终用户如何设置,操作,拆除和对机器人进行故障排除。即使VR已广泛用于培训与操作机器人相关的心理运动技能的培训外科医生,但很少进行研究以了解VR的好处如何转化为教床边人员,负责在完整的端到端手术过程中支持机器人。我们培训了30名参与者,了解了如何在模仿临床设置的环境中设置机器人臂。我们将这些参与者平均分为3组,其中一组培训了基于纸质的说明,一个带有视频的说明和一个基于VR的说明。然后,我们比较并对比了这三种不同的训练方法。 VR和基于纸张的培训媒介与基于视频的培训媒介相比。通过VR训练的参与者获得了单个机器人关节角度的忠诚度稍高,这表明可以更好地理解实现所需的手臂定位所需的空间意识技能。此外,与纸张和基于视频的培训相比,VR还导致设置保真度更高的可重复性和用户置信度更高的一致性。
Virtual Reality (VR) is rapidly increasing in popularity as a teaching tool. It allows for the creation of a highly immersive, three-dimensional virtual environment intended to simulate real-life environments. With more robots saturating the industry - from manufacturing to healthcare, there is a need to train end-users on how to set up, operate, tear down, and troubleshoot the robot. Even though VR has become widely used in training surgeons on the psychomotor skills associated with operating the robot, little research has been done to see how the benefits of VR could translate to teaching the bedside staff, tasked with supporting the robot during the full end-to-end surgical procedure. We trained 30 participants on how to set up a robotic arm in an environment mimicking clinical setup. We divided these participants equally into 3 groups with one group trained with paper-based instructions, one with video-based instructions and one with VR-based instructions. We then compared and contrasted these three different training methods. VR and paper-based were highly favored training mediums over video-based. VR-trained participants achieved slightly higher fidelity of individual robotic joint angles, suggesting better comprehension of the spatial awareness skills necessary to achieve desired arm positioning. In addition, VR resulted in higher reproducibility of setup fidelity and more consistency in user confidence levels as compared to paper and video-based training.
