ABSTRACT
Current forms of Human Robot Interaction (HRI) pursue mostly anthropomorphism and direct interaction. That is, the interaction paradigm is based on imitating how "people" interact with one another (e.g. using spoken language, gestures, facial expression, etc.). However, "direct" interaction/contact with the "robot," often causes significant inconvenience and usability problems. In this paper, we present an alternative to the anthropomorphic interface using a projected display and indirect, yet already familiar GUI based interaction. That is, the projector (on the moving robot) projects information on the nearby surface and provides a relatively large area through which indirect GUI based interaction can occur. As an instance of such an HRI paradigm, we present a moving robot kiosk that projects displays around itself and serve and interact with multiple people at once. We report our on-going development efforts and a pilot experimental study that compares it to the typical touch screen based direct HRI.

Direct and indirect multi-touch interaction on a wall display
IHM '14: Proceedings of the 26th Conference on l'Interaction Homme-MachineMulti-touch wall displays allow to take advantage of co-located interaction (direct interaction) on very large surfaces. However interacting with content beyond arms' reach requires body movements, introducing fatigue and impacting performance. ...
Non-anthropomorphic robots as social entities on a neurophysiological level
The mirror-neuron-system (MNS) is involved in the perception of actions of humans and anthropomorphic robots. The current study investigates whether social interaction with a non-anthropomorphic robot is sufficient for a response of the MNS.Fifty-seven ...
Tangible NURBS-curve manipulation techniques using graspable handles on a large display
UIST '04: Proceedings of the 17th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyThis paper presents tangible interaction techniques for fine-tuning one-to-one scale NURBS curves on a large display for automotive design. We developed a new graspable handle with a transparent groove that allows designers to manipulate virtual curves ...
