Autonomous personal robots are currently being equipped with hands and arms that have kinematic redundancy similar to those of humans. Humans exploit the redundancy in their motor system by optimizing secondary criteria. Tasks which are executed repeatedly lead to movements that are highly optimized over time, which leads to stereotypical and pre-planned motion patterns. This stereotypical motion...
This paper introduces the assistive kitchen as a comprehensive demonstration and challenge scenario for technical cognitive systems. We describe its hardware and software infrastructure. Within the assistive kitchen application, we select particular domain activities as research subjects and identify the cognitive capabilities needed for perceiving, interpreting, analyzing, and executing these activities...
This paper presents a novel spatial user interface system for industrial robots, which relies on interactive projection in conjunction with a handheld stylus as the central medium for user-interaction. This way, complex spatial trajectories and other information can be edited directly in the workspace of the robot. Calibration mechanisms, interaction metaphors and methods for multi-projector-setups...
