Subject: "Two Perspectives on Human-centered Robotics"
In this presentation, I will describe two different ways in which humans can be engaged with robotic systems. The first deals with enabling users to easily specify and execute multiagent robotic missions using the MissionLab software system developed at Georgia Tech. This ongoing research has been supported under 7 different DARPA programs since 1994. Multiple usability studies have been conducted to validate and efine our approach. The second perspective is concerned with engaging users directly with robots. The approach is derived from ethological models of canine and human behavior and has been implemented within Sony's entertainment robots, including both AIBO (dog-like) and QRIO (humanoid) in joint work since 1997 with Sony's Digital Creatures Laboratory.
