End-User Puppeteering of Expressive Movements (2207.12544v2)
Published 25 Jul 2022 in cs.RO and cs.HC
Abstract: The end-user programming of social robot behavior is usually limited by a predefined set of movements. We are proposing a puppeteering robotic interface that provides a more intuitive method of programming robot expressive movements. As the user manipulates the puppet of a robot, the actual robot replicates the movements, providing real-time visual feedback. Through this proposed interface, even with limited training, a novice user can design and program expressive movements efficiently. We present our preliminary user study results in this extended abstract.
