Abstract
Mouse, keyboard and graphical user interfaces are commonly used in
the field of human-robot interaction (HRI) for robot control. Although these
traditional user interfaces are being accepted as the standard for the
majority of computational tasks, their generic natural and interaction styles
may not fit well with robot navigation tasks. In our proposed research, we
intend to explore alternative UIs that could take the advantage of human
innate skills in physical object manipulation and spatial perception to
overcome the problems associated with traditional UIs. We suggest the use of
tangible user interfaces (TUIs) for HRI applications, especially for
one-to-many robot navigation tasks. We hope our proposed idea will give
insight on future HRI interface design.
