Customizable Haptic and Multi-touch Gesture Interfaces On Handheld Devices for Teleoperated Robots

Abstract

This paper presents a solution to control mobile robots by using customizable haptic and multitouch gesture interface son handheld devices. Images coming from a camera allow both to automatically and manually control the robot. Recent advances indigital tabletop touch-and gesture-activated screens have allowed for small group collaboration. The newest generation screens simultaneously support multiple users, multiple contact points per user, and gesture recognition. To the authors’ knowledge, this technology has never been applied to robot control. We envision that an interactive multi-touch screen display for robot control would improve human-robot interaction (HRI) and increase efficiency.
