LiSA: A Robot Assistant for Life Sciences
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a project that is developing a mobile service robot to assist users in biological and pharmaceutical laboratories by executing routine jobs such as filling and transporting microplates. A preliminary overview of the design of the mobile platform with a robotic arm is provided. Moreover, the approaches to localization and intuitive multimodal human-machine interaction using speech and touchpad input are described. One focus of the project is aspects of safety since the robot and humans will share a common environment.

متن کاملSpeech "Re-Cognition"? Investigating Speech as a Cognition-Augmenting Modality
We report and compare two projects investigating speech interfaces and augmented cognition. We performed an exploratory study to examine the effects of speech-enabled input on an imagery analysis and annotation task. We hypothesized that speech recognition could be a cognition-enabling technology by reducing the mental load of instrument manipulation and freeing up resources. Results indicate t...
