Abstract
Interaction with a remote team of robots in real time is a difficult
human-robot interaction (HRI) problem exacerbated by the complications
of unpredictable real-world environments, with solutions often
resorting to a larger-than-desirable ratio of operators to robots. We
present two innovative interfaces that allow a single operator to
interact with a group of remote robots. Using a tabletop computer the
user can configure and manipulate groups of robots directly by either
using their fingers (touch) or by manipulating a set of physical toys
(tangible user interfaces)
