ABSTRACT
What will the universal remote control of the near future look like? What form will the next generation of human-computer interfaces take? Will they be conspicuous interfaces within the built envi- ronment, like a computer screen or a smart speaker? Will they resemble the ubiquitous, portable rectangles that we all carry in our pockets? We propose a third paradigm: interfaces that hide in plain sight, inconspicuously integrated into the furniture always al- ready around us, but ready to be called upon when needed in order to establish a user interface. Our furniture-robot prototype - tbo, the TableBot - demonstrates the viability of this furniture-based human-computer paradigm.

Exploring the use of tangible user interfaces for human-robot interaction: a comparative study
CHI '08: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper we suggest the use of tangible user interfaces (TUIs) for human-robot interaction (HRI) applications. We discuss the potential benefits of this approach while focusing on low-level of autonomy tasks. We present an experimental robotic ...
Single robot - Multiple human interaction via intelligent user interfaces
This project addresses some research issues concerning design of intelligent user interfaces for improving human-robot interaction. In some critical applications, users interact with robots via Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), which usually contain ...
Multi-touch interaction for tasking robots
HRI '10: Proceedings of the 5th ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-robot interactionThe objective is to develop a mobile human-robot interface that is optimized for multi-touch input. Our existing interface was designed for mouse and keyboard input and was later adopted for voice and touch interaction. A new multi-touch interface ...
