“…[40] showed a programming environment implemented with such an interface. [36] further extended this approach to include tactile feedback. Other less conventional approaches to actuation are ultrasonic proposed by [23] and vibration drive used by [38,27].…”

The Cellulo robots are small tangible robots that are designed to represent virtual interactive point-like objects that reside on a plane within carefully designed learning activities. In the context of these activities, our robots not only display autonomous motion and act as tangible interfaces, but are also usable as haptic devices in order to exploit, for instance, kinesthetic learning. In this article, we present the design and analysis of the haptic interaction module of the Cellulo robots. We first detail our hardware and controller design that is low-cost and versatile. Then, we describe the task-based experimental procedure to evaluate the robot's haptic abilities. We show that our robot is usable in most of the tested tasks and extract perceptive and manipulative guidelines for the design of haptic elements to be integrated in future learning activities. We conclude with limitations of the system and future work.

“…Actuated Workbench [19] added more advanced control over multiple tokens, and represented remote user's presence through projected digital shadows and haptic feedback. Researchers have also explored small tabletop robots for remote TUI collaboration [26,27]. Video portals have been used to play games over a distance, where physical pucks appearing from underneath the video create the illusion of a single shared object [18].…”

“…Video portals have been used to play games over a distance, where physical pucks appearing from underneath the video create the illusion of a single shared object [18]. TUIs for remote collaboration often utilize actuated physical objects to represent content, rather than collaborators [2,19,26,27]. However, as remote actors themselves are not physically embodied, object movement can result in a disconnected experience, since graphics can only partially simulate the presence of a co-located collaborator.…”

We propose a new approach to Physical Telepresence, based on shared workspaces with the ability to capture and remotely render the shapes of people and objects. In this paper, we describe the concept of shape transmission, and propose interaction techniques to manipulate remote physical objects and physical renderings of shared digital content. We investigate how the representation of user's body parts can be altered to amplify their capabilities for teleoperation. We also describe the details of building and testing prototype Physical Telepresence workspaces based on shape displays. A preliminary evaluation shows how users are able to manipulate remote objects, and we report on our observations of several different manipulation techniques that highlight the expressive nature of our system.

“…Explicitly in these early design phases, there is a lack of methods and tools which allow a sufficient documentation, analysis, and communication of context of complex work situations [5]. In relation to intelligent production environments, a major challenge for an appropriate design method is the sufficient incorporation of novel interaction concepts [11,12] and user/usage requirements in the design process. Additionally, it has to be kept in mind that contemporary interaction devices such as control panels and operating device do not fully support potential interaction opportunities provided in intelligent environments (e.g., wireless and multimodal interfaces).…”

Physical user interfaces with enhanced interaction capabilities are emerging along with intelligent production environments. In this manner, we pose the question if contemporary design methods and tools are sufficient for the design of this new breed of user interfaces, or if there is rather a need for more efficient design methods and tools. The paper is initiated with a discussion about the need for more sophisticated physical user interfaces with enhanced capabilities for interacting in intelligent production environments. Based on this idea, we derive several functional and nonfunctional requirements for a suitable design method, supporting the conceptualisation of physical user interfaces in the early phases of product development. Hence, we suggest a modelbased design method, which incorporates a comprehensive context model and modelling tool, applicable to intelligent production environments. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the design method, we further conduct a validation and evaluation of the functional modelling tool, based on an industrial use case, in cooperation with design experts. In the final section of the paper, we critically discuss the key characteristics of the design method and thus identify potential issues for future improvement.
