Research Objectives

Subproject 4 focuses on improving human-robot interaction. The aim of the subproject is to increase the acceptance of the robot through mutual understanding and simple user interfaces. For this purpose, various user interfaces for human input as well as the representation of the state of the robot system are to be examined, evaluated and implemented. In addition to the lack of user interfaces, the acceptance of robotic systems suffers from the lack of cognitive skills that make interaction more difficult. Therefore, another goal is to give the robot a certain adaptability to humans.

Approach

The first work package deals with the flow of information from humans to robots. Intuitive user interfaces, such as gesture control or programming by demonstration, are evaluated and implemented.
