Abstract

In this paper we present two approaches for intuitive interactive modelling of special object attributes by use of specific sensoric hardware. After a brief overview over the state of the art in interactive, intuitive object modeling, we motivate the modeling task by deriving the dierent object attributes that shall be modeled from an analysis of important interactions with objects. As an example domain, we chose the setting of a service robot in a kitchen. Tasks from this domain were used to derive important basic actions from which in turn the necessary object attributes were inferred. In the main section of the paper, two of the derived attributes are presented, each with an intuitive interactive modeling method. The object attributes to be modeled a restable object positions and movement restrictions for objects. Both of the intuitive interaction methods were evaluated with a group of test persons and the results are discussed. The paper ends with conclusions on the discussed results and a preview of future work in this area, in particular of potential applications.
