Abstract

Various kinds of service robots will be used in environment coexisting with humans. To realize the coexistence of a robot and a human, the robot must share task information with the person via an adequate interface. We propose a “projection function” as the interface for information sharing. We construct a projection system to prove the information sharing efficiency, and develop several modes of interaction between the robot and the human in the projection system.
