A teddy-bear-based robotic user interface

Published: 01 July 2006 Publication History

Abstract

A robotic user interface (RUI) is part of a concept in which a robot is used as an interface for human behavior. Our RUI is a system for interpersonal exchange that uses robots as agents for physical communication. In this article we propose a new type of RUI for interactive entertainment. This RUI enables people to directly interact with the information world.
