Touch-basedprogramming For Robots

摘要

Many people consider robots to be sophisticated machines that are too complex for the layperson to leam to control. If robots are to be accepted in homes and offices, this has to change. People need to be able to interact with robots in a natural and familiar manner; they must not find them intimidating. Touch-based interactions are instinctive for humans and have an important role in learning. Therefore it is important to study how humans can interact in a physical manner with robots.
