Low-Cost Whole-Body Touch Interaction for Manual Motion Control of a Mobile Service Robot
Mobile service robots for interaction with people need to be easily maneuverable by their users, even if physical restrictions make a manual pushing and pulling impossible. In this paper, we present a low cost approach that allows for intuitive tactile control of a mobile service robot while preserving constraints of a differential drive and obstacle avoidance. The robot’s enclosure has been eq...
متن کاملHuman-Robot Interaction using a Multi-Touch Display
Recent advances in digital tabletop touch-andgesture-activated screens have allowed for small group collaboration. The newest generation screens simultaneously support multiple users, multiple contact points per user, and gesture recognition. To the authors’ knowledge, this technology has never been applied to robot control. We envision that an interactive multi-touch screen display for robot c...
متن کاملPerformance of Multi-Touch Table Interaction and Physically Situated Robot Agents
Recent developments in multi-touch technologies have exposed fertile ground for research in enriched human-robot interaction. Although the technologies have been used for virtual 3D applications, to the authors’ knowledge, ours is the first study to explore the use of a multi-touch table with a physical robot agent. This baseline study explores the control of a single agent with a multi-touch t...
متن کاملMulti-Dimensional Force Sensor Design for Haptic Human-Computer Interaction
Haptic human-computer interaction (HapHCI) is interaction between a human and a computer with realistic sense of touch. Haptic interaction between human and computer involves solving challenging problems in mechanical design, sensor, actuator, computer graphics, physical-based modelling and rendering algorithm, human capabilities, and other areas. With the increasing applications of HapHCI in v...
متن کاملSticky-Finger Manipulation With A Multi-Touch Interface
Manipulation of complex simulated entities like cloth in graphical applications can be non-intuitive and awkward for the user due to the high number of degrees of freedom in their motions. In robotics, direct control of a robotic manipulator for a highlydexterous task is similarly tedious because multiple joints have to be controlled simultaneously, in close coordination and often in varying ve...
