A study on usability of human-robot interaction using a mobile computer and a human interface device

Published: 09 September 2007 Publication History

Abstract

A variety of devices are used for robot control such as personal computers or other human interface devices, haptic devices, and so on. However, sometimes it is not easy to select a device which fits the specific character of varied kinds of robots while at the same time increasing the user's convenience. Under these circumstances, in this study, we have tried to measure user convenience. We tried to understand the characteristics of several devices used to achieve human robot interaction by using each of these devices that could be used with a personal computer: We used a button type device, a joystick, a driving device which consisted of a handle and pedals, and a motion-based human interface device including an acceleration sensor.
