Human Robot Interaction in the Absence of Visual and Aural Feedback: Exploring the Haptic Sense
نویسندگان
چکیده
The potential of robot swarms for Search and Rescue has been shown by the Guardians project (EU, 2006-2010); however the project also showed the problem of human robot interaction in smoky (non-visibility) and noisy conditions. The REINS project (UK, 2011-2015) focused on human robot interaction in such conditions. This paper briefly reviews the scientific context relevant for designing a haptic interface for human robot navigation and examines what we have achieved since then. The aim is to put the major design issues into context.

Exploring Haptic Interfacing with a Mobile Robot without Visual Feedback
Search and Rescue scenarios are often complicated by low or no visibility conditions, because of smoke or dust. The lack of visual feedback causes significant stress for human rescue workers. If a group of robots could overcome the navigation and localisation problems, they would become assistants to a human rescue worker. Trials were held with professional fire fighters; however it became clea...
متن کاملUsing Haptic Feedback in Human- Swarm Interaction
A swarm of robots is a large group of individual agents that autonomously coordinate via local control laws. Their emergent behavior allows simple robots to accomplish complex tasks. Since missions may have complex objectives that change dynamically due to environmental and mission changes, human control and influence over the swarm is needed. The field of Human Swarm Interaction (HSI) is young...
متن کاملUsing Haptic Feedback in Human Robotic Swarms Interaction
Robotic swarms display emergent behaviors that are robust to failure of individual robots, although they can not necessarily accomplish complex tasks with these behaviors. The research objective is to make use of their robust behaviors to accomplish complex tasks in many types of environments. For now, it is difficult to affect swarm “goals”, and therefore difficult them to direct to perform co...
متن کاملTele-Operation of a Mobile Robot Through Haptic Feedback
Teleoperation systems have been developed in order to allow a human operator to perform complex tasks in remote environments. Mobile robots can be considered as a particular example of telemanipulation systems, since they can be operated remotely to perform particular tasks. As an example, the inspection of underwater structures and the removal of mines are performed by mobile platforms control...
متن کاملMultimodal Human-Machine Interaction for Service Robots in Home-Care Environments
This contribution focuses on multimodal interaction techniques for a mobile communication and assistance system on a robot platform. The system comprises of acoustic, visual and haptic input modalities. Feedback is given to the user by a graphical user interface and a speech synthesis system. By this, multimodal and natural communication with the robot system is possible.
