Tele-operation is an important area of human-robot interaction • But, human spatial reasoning skills are rather limited. • Intelligence is need on the robot side
Here, human spatial reasoningis acceptable for controlling a small vehicle, with a bird’s view of the maze T .S
2D manipulator ...Virtual ...Physical
Nearly optimal path Human performance in 2D manipulator control
More complex machines make motion planning only harder
Needs and Questions • Robotics community needs appreciation of the human side: psychology, cognition, fatigue, acceptance, rejection, role of sophistication, learning, logic, spatial reasoning. • Studies are needed of limits of human cognition skills when manipulating physical objects: spatial, logical, temporal. • We need to define and start cognitive science research necessary for development of human-machine systems. • Example. We want to put a robot in an elderly person's apartment: What responsibilities/skills are expected from the person, and which must be given to the robot?
