“…Failing to recenter the camera before starting to drive the robot can result in a loss of situation awareness, since the camera is pointing a different way than the operator would expect. For example, in one study [3], we found that an operator drove with his camera off center for over half of his run, causing him to hit more obstacles. The camera pointed left and the operator saw a clear area, but there was an obstacle in front of the robot.…”

“…We have performed studies on more than a dozen USAR interfaces used in the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and RoboCup Robot Rescue competitions and have also done usability testing with domain experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (see, for example, [1], [2] and [3]). These studies allowed us to identify the successes and failures of different interfaces, and we have developed guidelines for the effective design of interfaces for human-robot interaction in a USAR application [4]:…”

“…We already proposed a prototype based on a handheld device to teach new words to a robot [17]. This prototype was developed with a special care to the classical design lessons in HRI and HCI [18][19] [20]. The exploratory study indicated that it was a promising approach, providing an intuitive and efficient interface for non-expert users.…”

integrated system for teaching new visually grounded words to a robot for non-expert users using a mobile device. Abstract-In this paper, we present a system allowing nonexpert users to teach new words to their robot. In opposition to most of existing works in this area which focus on the associated visual perception and machine learning challenges, we choose to focus on the HRI challenges with the aim to show that it may improve the learning quality. We argue that by using mediator objects and in particular a handheld device, we can develop a human-robot interface which is not only intuitive and entertaining but will also "help" the user to provide "good" learning examples to the robot and thus will improve the efficiency of the whole learning system. The perceptual and machine learning parts of this system rely on an incremental version of visual bag-of-words. We also propose a system called ASMAT that makes it possible for the robot to incrementally build a model of a novel unknown object by simultaneously modelling and tracking it. We report experiments demonstrating the fast acquisition of robust object models using this approach.

“…A GOMS model is a type of user model that describes the knowledge a user must posses in order to perform tasks with the system [3]. Research by Yanco et al represents the only example of GOMS based user interface design evaluation within robotics located to date [7]. Yanco et al focus on the challenge of a specific robotics domain and a usability coding scheme inspired by GOMS.…”

“…GOMS modeling has been successfully employed within HCI and software engineering [7,9], but is relatively unknown within robotics [7]. It is our contention that GOMS assessments of multi-robot user interface designs could play a vital role in the generation and rapid prototyping of future multirobot system interfaces.…”

Abstract. This paper investigates the problem of user interface design and evaluation for autonomous teams of heterogeneous mobile robots. We explore an operator modeling approach to multi-robot user interface evaluation. Specifically the authors generated GOMS models, a type of user model, to investigate potential interface problems and to guide the interface development process. Results indicate that our interface design changes improve the usability of multi-robot mission generation substantially. We conclude that modeling techniques such as GOMS can play an important role in robotic interface development. Moreover, this research indicates that these techniques can be performed in an inexpensive and timely manner, potentially reducing the need for costly and demanding usability studies.
