All about human-robot interaction

Abstract The latest developments in science and technology has led to the expansion and deployment of robots in various applications covering all spheres of the human life. This necessitates the interaction of humans with robots on a larger scale, as past evidence suggests the robots are considered more as companions rather than machines/tools. Human-computer interaction (HCI) provides insights in understanding and improving interactions with computer-based technologies. However, human-robot interaction (HRI) takes a cue from HCI by introducing autonomy, physical proximity and ability to take decisions in addition to HCI techniques for a robotic system, which makes HRI a distinct area for research. Taking into consideration the huge number of interactions between human and robots, there is a stringent requirement to standardize and make fixed protocols to ensure the usage of robotic technology in a responsible and principled way. This article illustrates a generalized framework and metric taxonomies for robot design through detailed review of literature. The framework presents an end-to-end product design overview for hobbyists and researchers interested in the general steps to create a fully-autonomous, consumer-focused social robots with perception and reasoning capabilities that aim to achieve high technology readiness.
