Building an interface the other way round - What's UP talk - CogNovo talks

 

I gave a talk on my ongoing research, in the WHAT's UP: Specialist Workshops and Courses, in CogNovo, Plymouth University.

Building an interface the other way round

The remote control of mechanical devices equipped with a large number of actuators, such as humanoid robots, is a challenging task. When dealing with the resulting large number of degrees-of-freedom, the nature of the interface provided to the human operator plays a fundamental role in the success of tele-robotic performance. A wide range of tele-robotic interfaces have been explored so far; some are very rigid devices that require a great deal of cognitive and manual effort, while other more intuitive systems, based on one-to-one body mapping, are in contrast very complex and expensive devices, often specifically tailored to a single robotic platform. In this What's up talk Christos will describe his approach to interfacing with robots.
