Anywhere Projected AR for Robot Communication: A Mid-Air Fog Screen-Robot System
Abstract Augmented reality (AR) allows visualizations to be situated where they are relevant, e.g., in a robot’s operating environment or task space. Yet, headset-based AR suffers a scalability issue because every viewer must wear a headset. Projector-based spatial AR solves this problem by projecting augmentations onto the scene, e.g., recognized objects or navigation paths, viewable…

Do Results in Experiments with Virtual Robots in Augmented Reality Transfer To Physical Robots? An Experiment Design
Abstract Entry to human-robot interaction research, e.g., conducting empirical experiments, faces a significant economic barrier due to the high cost of physical robots, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, if not millions. This cost issue also severely limits the field’s ability to replicate user studies and reproduce the results to verify their reliability, thus…

To Understand Indicators of Robots’ Vision Capabilities
Abstract Study [10] indicates that humans can mistakenly assume that robots and humans have the same field of view (FoV), possessing an inaccurate mental model of a robot. This misperception is problematic during collaborative HRI tasks where robots might be asked to complete impossible tasks about out-of-view objects. To help align humans’ mental models of…

Designing Indicators to Show a Robot’s Physical Vision Capability
Abstract In human-robot interaction (HRI), studies show humans can mistakenly assume that robots and humans have the same field of view, possessing an inaccurate mental model of a robot. This misperception is problematic during collaborative HRI tasks where robots might be asked to complete impossible tasks about out-of-view objects. In this initial work, we aim…
