This article studies the effects of varying levels of robot autonomy on a user’s cognitive load and trust in teleoperation settings. The study did not find a clear interaction between these factors, suggesting that while autonomy influences cognitive load and trust, these elements operate independently. The findings highlight the need to consider both cognitive load and trust as distinct but interrelated factors when designing assistive robotic systems. The research provides important insights for the development of more effective and adaptable human-robot interaction systems.
