This research aims to understand the cognitive impact of latency in teleoperation and the related mitigation methods, using functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) to analyze functional connectivity. The study provides neurological evidence that latency in teleoperation increases cognitive load, anxiety, and challenges in motion planning and control. Real-time haptic feedback, however, positively influences neural pathways related to cognition, decision-making, and sensorimotor processes. This research can inform the design of ergonomic teleoperation systems that mitigate the effects of latency.
