Human-Robot Interaction

Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is a constantly growing multidisciplinary area rich of cues for advanced researches and technology transfers. It plays a fundamental role in the development of robots that operate in an open environment and cooperate with humans. This task requires the development of techniques that allow inexpert users to use their robots in an efficient and safe way, using an intuitive and natural interface. In this work, after an introduction to the fundamental issues concerning HRI, we will present the different possible interaction modalities between robot and man followed by a series of advanced interface applications for autonomous mobile robots.
