Background Data for: Impact of Latency on Task Performance and User Experience in Teleoperated Object Manipulation

This dataset contains behavioural and questionnaire data from a within-subjects user study on teleoperated object manipulation under varying command–execution delays. Participants controlled a robotic arm with an anthropomorphic hand to perform two standardized pick-and-place tasks: the box and block test (BBT) and subtest 6 of the Jebsen–Taylor hand function test (JTHFT-6). For each trial, task performance (i.e., number of blocks moved and completion time) was recorded, and participants rated their perceived delay, task difficulty, agency, and embodiment of the robot using a short questionnaire on 5‑point Likert scales. The experiment isolates the effect of latency by co‑locating the human operator and robot by providing immediate visual feedback, ensuring that differences between conditions are attributable to the imposed command–execution delay rather than to changes in visual or environmental feedback. See the Impact of Latency on Task Performance and User Experience in Teleoperated Object Manipulation paper and the README for more informmation.
