Tactile interface user-friendliness evaluated in the context of robot programming by demonstration

چکیده
In this paper we describe preliminary results on the impact of providing different types of robot feedback on the effectiveness of teaching by demonstration, as well as on user satisfaction. Participants had to teach a humanoid robot various ways of holding a can, via tactile feedback, by providing several rounds of demonstration. Our goal was to determine the best way of providing feedback in relation to robot’s tactile sensing in order to improve the teaching by demonstration interaction. We aimed to: (1) reduce the teaching time, (2) reduce the rounds of demonstration required and (3) improve the metrics used for learning. Usability was tested, using task performance measurements and post-experiment questionnaires. The study revealed a strong effect of the feedback given by the robot on the subjective usability ratings and task performance. These results lead to a better understanding of how to develop better means of interaction as well as improve efficiency when using tactile sensing.

In this paper we focus on human-robot interaction particularities that occur during programming by demonstration. Understanding what makes the interaction rewarding and keeps the user engaged helps optimize the robot's learning. Two user studies are presented. The first one validates facially-displayed expressions on the iCub robot. The best recognized displays are then used in a second study, ...

One of the important issues in designing a brain-computer interface system is to select the type of mental activity to be imagined. In some of these systems, mental activity varies with user intent and action that must be controlled by the brain-computer system, and in a number of other signals, the received signals contain the same activity-related mental activity that should be performed by t...
