ABSTRACT
In this paper we present some results obtained through an experimental evaluation of tangible user interfaces (TUIs), comparing their novel interaction paradigms with more conventional interfaces, such as a joypad and a keyboard. Our main goal is to make a formal assessment of TUIs in robotics through a rigorous and extensive experimental evaluation. Firstly, we identified the main benefits of TUIs for robot teleoperation in a urban search and rescue task. Secondly, we provide an evaluation framework to allow for an effective comparison of tangible interfaces with other input devices.

Exploring the use of tangible user interfaces for human-robot interaction: a comparative study
CHI '08: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper we suggest the use of tangible user interfaces (TUIs) for human-robot interaction (HRI) applications. We discuss the potential benefits of this approach while focusing on low-level of autonomy tasks. We present an experimental robotic ...
A Comparison of Remote Robot Teleoperation Interfaces for General Object Manipulation
HRI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionRobust remote teleoperation of high-DOF manipulators is of critical importance across a wide range of robotics applications. Contemporary robot manipulation interfaces primarily utilize a free-positioning pose specification approach to independently ...
Tangible autonomous interfaces (TAIs): exploring autonomous behaviours in TUIs
TEI '14: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied InteractionThe use of autonomous behaviour in Tangible User Interfaces can potentially create a compelling and new kind of interaction between humans and computers. We motivate this argument by reviewing related research, which indicates that people are engaged by ...
