Abstract: It is challenging for underwater vehicle-manipulator systems (UVMSs) to operate autonomously in unstructured underwater environments. Relying solely on teleoperation for both the underwater vehicle (UV) and underwater manipulator (UM) imposes a considerable cognitive and physical burden on the operator. In this paper, we propose a unified shared control (USC) architecture for the UVMS, integrating divisible shared control (DSC) and interactive shared control (ISC) to alleviate the operator ’ s workload. By applying task priority based on DSC, we divide the whole-body task into constraints, operation, and posture optimization subtasks. The robot autonomously avoids self-collisions and adjusts its posture according to the user ’ s visual preferences. ISC incorporates haptic feedback to enhance human-robot collaboration, seamlessly integrating it into the operation task via a whole-body controller for the UVMS. Simulations and pool experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of the method.Compared to manual control (MC), the proposed method reduced completion time by 17.27%, operator input by 28.55%, and cognitive load by 35.52% in simulations, with corresponding reductions of 22.85%, 31.13%, and 29.91% in pool experiments. Subjective measurements demonstrate the reduction in operator workload with the proposed method.
