چکیده

We present a user interface that utilizes handtracking and gesture detection to provide a natural and intuitive interface to a semi-autonomous robotic manipulation system. The developed interface leverages humans and robots for what they each do best. The robotic system performs object detection, and grasp and motion planning. The human operator oversees high-level task assignment and manages unexpected failures. We discuss how this low-cost, task-level interface can reduce operator training time, decrease an operator’s cognitive load, and increase their situational awareness. There are many potential applications for this system such as explosive ordnance disposal, logistics package handling, and assembly tasks.

Precise but Natural Specification for Robot Tasks

We present Flipper, a natural language interface for describing high level task specifications for robots that are compiled into robot actions. Flipper starts with a formal core language for task planning that allows expressing rich temporal specifications and uses a semantic parser to provide a natural language interface. Flipper provides immediate visual feedback by executing an automatically...

Robot control system using SMR signals detection

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...

Sticky-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...
