ABSTRACT
We present a multi-modal multi-robot interaction whereby a user can identify an individual or a group of robots using haptic stimuli, and name them using a voice command (e.g."You two are green"). Subsequent commands can be addressed to the same robot(s) by name (e.g. "Green! Take off!"). We demonstrate this as part of a real-world integrated system in which a user commands teams of autonomous robots in a coordinated exploration task.

Teleoperation User Interfaces for Mining Robotics
This paper presents a brief discussion of the requirements for user interfaces for teleoperation of mining vehicles and systems. Current commercial interfaces are relatively simple, evolving from line-of-sight remote control systems with the addition of ...
Improving the visual momentum of tethered viewpoint displays using spatial cue augmentation
A tethered viewpoint in an operator interface visualizes remote situations according to a robot's heading direction. The tethered view, adhering to the line-of-sight requirement, results lower visual momentum when visualizing dense environments, such as ...
