Introduction to AG Interaction & Generic Multi Robot Control Interface (ROCON)

Abstract :

The work group “Interaction and ROCON” deals with the development of interfaces, robot control environments, human-machine interfaces and approaches for human state analysis. Most relevant for our developments are our high demands on the developed solutions to enable intuitive interaction. To this end different challenges are tackled with respect to three highly relevant areas: (1) behavior, appearance and effect of an interface or robot on the interacting human, (2) transfer of intentions between human and technical system, and (3) correctness and completeness of the approach to assure proper functioning. With respect to applications, we develop multi robot control approaches for space and industrial applications, solutions for close human-robot interaction as for example in the field of rehabilitation robotics or the support of elderly people. For the later, research questions of the field of social interaction must be considered. Hence, our work group deals not only with questions regarding the development of the targeted technical solution but does also consider questions from psychology, neuroscience, or social science and hence drives interdisciplinary discussion and cooperation.
