Abstract
This paper presents our efforts of exploring the possibilities of
combining tabletop robots and assistant robots. Our paper
presents the design and prototyping of Spidey, a robotic assistant
on a tabletop environment which works together as a team
member with its human companions, aware of their tabletop
actions and reacting or initiating tabletop actions according to the
task requirements. Spidey is designed both as a proof of concept,
suggesting the benefits, and reflecting on the limitations of a
robotic assistant in an interactive reservoir engineering tabletop
visualization application we are implementing. This paper
motivates our concept of a robotic tabletop assistant, and outlines
our design efforts and the current Spidey prototype
