Abstract

The objective is to develop a mobile human-robot interface that is optimized for multi-touch input. Our existing interface was designed for mouse and keyboard input and was later adopted for voice and touch interaction. A new multi-touch interface permits multi-touch gestures, for example zooming and panning a map, and robot task specific touch interactions. An initial user evaluation found that the multi-touch interface is preferred and yields superior performance.
