Abstract
This work proposes an intuitive and adaptive interface for human machine interaction that can be used under various environmental conditions. A camera-projector-system is added to a robot manipulator allowing for a flexible determination of a suitable surface to project a graphical user interface on. The interface may then be used to select different autonomous tasks to be carried out by the robot. In combination with an implemented person tracking algorithm our approach offers an intuitive robot control, especially for repetitive tasks as they occur inside domestic or working environments.
