In robot teleoperation, haptic feedback can be used to help human operators accomplish dexterous manipulation tasks. However, existing haptic feedback methods try to replicate high-fidelity sensory haptics that are felt in real world interactions, which are constrained by the sensing and feedback hardware capability and may lead to higher workload. To addresses these limitations, this work introduces semantic haptics for teleoperation, which uses abstract haptic patterns to convey critical information about robot states. We categorize robot states into "Confirmations" and "Exceptions", implement a modular haptic rendering pipeline in robot simulation, and deliver semantic haptic feedback to operators through pneumatic and vibrotactile wristbands. This simplifies hardware requirements and enables one-to-many mappings between haptic patterns and robot states. Through three evaluation studies, we identify the most effective semantic haptic design for a common pick and place teleoperation task and compare semantic haptics to other teleoperation feedback approaches including sensory haptics and visual feedback. Results suggest that while semantic haptics performs similarly as other feedback in unimanual tasks, it achieves superior performance in bimanual tasks, with reduced task workload, increased situational awareness, and overall preference.
