RoboTable : An Infrastructure for Intuitive Interaction with Mobile Robots in a Mixed-Reality Environment

Abstract EN

This paper presents the design, development, and testing of a tabletop interface called RoboTable, which is an infrastructure supporting intuitive interaction with both mobile robots and virtual components in a mixed-reality environment.

With a flexible software toolkit and specifically developed robots, the platform enables various modes of interaction with mobile robots.

Using this platform, prototype applications are developed for two different application domains: RoboPong investigates the efficiency of the RoboTable system in game applications, and ExploreRobot explores the possibility of using robots and intuitive interaction to enhance learning.
