ABSTRACT
This project proposes to use interactive graphical editing interface for an end user to give instructions to intelligent robots to complete a real world object manipulation task. Natural language is often considered as an ideal communication method for robots, but it not intuitive at specifying tasks that require visual (geometry) information. Learning from demonstration can be useful, but it is not easy to generalize a provided example into a working program. Our approach is to provide a specialized graphical editor that abstracts the target task and to have the user specify how to complete the task by performing simple editing operations (clicking and dragging). We show the effectiveness of our approach by building and testing an example application based on this concept, which is a graphical editor for teaching garment folding to a robot. This example shows that our approach is particularly effective for an end user to configure the robot behavior to satisfy their own needs, which cannot be covered by a single, pre-programmed solution for general audience.

A graphical robot language developed in Japan
A graphical robot programming system has been developed. This system with a graphical interface is user-friendly and easy-to-learn for low-skill users. It has been developed as a prototype system under a project by the Japan Robot Association (JARA) ...
Graphical Password: Prototype Usability Survey
ICACTE '08: Proceedings of the 2008 International Conference on Advanced Computer Theory and EngineeringAccess to computer networks and systems is most often based on the use of conventional passwords nowadays. However, users have difficulty remembering a password that is long and random-appearing. So, they create short, simple, and insecure passwords. ...
