Abstract

In unmanned construction, work efficiency is lower than that in manned construction due to lack of visual information. Thus, we previously developed an autonomous camera control system to provide various visual information suited to work states through multiple displays. However, that system increased the cognitive load on operators, and required them to have much experience to choose appropriate views for various situations. Next, we should investigate the degree of effectiveness for each view in a certain state. Thus, in this study, we analyzed gaze patterns to clarify which are the displays that operators often watch in work states, i.e., moving, grasping, transport, and releasing. We then derived which gaze patterns have higher work performance, including time efficiency and safeness. We clustered gaze patterns using Ward's method, which is a criterion applied in hierarchical clustering. To evaluate the objective of this study, we conducted experiments involving debris transport tasks, using a virtual reality simulator. The results indicated that gaze patterns differed in operators and we found that better time efficiency related to specific gaze patterns for each work state.
