explore the vehicle controls for exploration submarines that also have the full six
degrees of freedom.
Another critical detail to be resolved with commanding a breakthrough vehicle is how
best to accommodate the "throttle."
Should each linear axis have the same speed
capability, or should only the primary motion axis have the fu ll span of zero to
maximum speed? With that characteristic specified, it will also be necessary to
determine how best to provide adjustments to cover the speed ranges of each axis.
OPTIMUM MIX OF CONTROL METHODS
A variety of methods have been considered for commanding the breakthrough-era
vehicle.
What is not known is the degree and in what combinations they should be
used, and whether constraints should be placed on some of them. The potential use of
confirmation feedback for both voice and thought commands is suggested, but future
research will need to determine whether (and how) such functions should be employed.
