The facilitated integration of technology into people's lives highlights the importance of examining its impact on experience and behavior. Experimental approaches help to determine the underlying psychological processes of this impact. This symposium aims to highlight the value of the experimental approach in the applied setting of Engineering Psychology and Human Factors by presenting recent research projects and results in various application fields. The first talk by Nadine Schlicker and Markus Langer presents findings of a study that aimed to compare justice perceptions of decision recipients between human and automated agents and to investigate how these perceptions are affected by explanations. The second talk by Veronica Hoth, Maria Ivanova, and Stefan Brandenburg examines the impact of three different Design Patterns of a cookie banner on participants' ratings of user experience and trust. The third talk by Markus Gödker, Tim Schrills, and Thomas Franke presents an electric vehicle driving simulator experiment that investigated the drivers' mental representation of energy consumption, its development over time, and its link to eco-driving. The fourth talk by Luisa Heinrich and Martin Baumann examines the effects of different interaction strategies on the take-over behavior in automated vehicles. The fifth talk by
Elisabeth Wögerbauer addresses the effect of dissociating viewpoints through the use of camera-monitor systems on time-to-contact estimation. The results of a laboratory experiment in which the horizontal position of the camera was varied will be reported. The sixth talk by Matthias Arend and Verena Nitsch investigates situation awareness during telemanipulation. In the presented experiment they study the situation models of human operators in a situation in which they control a complex robotic system with various end-effectors at a distance.

Object telemanipulation (i.e., the manipulation of objects at distance by means of input devices and telerobotic systems), is an essential activity for many teleoperation applications such as robotic surgery, space operations or micromanipulation. In order to make full use of the human operators’ decision-making capabilities, the input devices and robotic manipulators must be designed to account for various manipulations of objects with diverse attributes such as size, consistency, or surface condition. One possibility to address these demands would be the use of telerobotic systems with multiple manipulators with interchangeable end-effectors. While this modular design increases flexibility of the use of telerobotic manipulation systems in unstructured and complex tasks, it also presents a challenge for operators due to the increasing operation complexity. This is partly described by the ‘complexity creep”, which describes the effect that increased complexity of technological systems impairs the maintenance of human operator’s situation awareness. To contribute to the agenda of understanding situation awareness during telemanipulation, the present research seeks to study the situation models of human operators in a situation in which they control a complex robotic system with various end-effectors.
Keywords: Teleoperation, robot, situation awareness, object manipulation.
