Development of an Intuitive GUI for Non-Expert Teleoperation of Humanoid Robots

Abstract

The operation of humanoid robotics is an essential field of research with many practical and competitive applications. Many of these systems, however, do not invest heavily in developing a non-expert-centered graphical user interface (GUI) for operation. The focus of this research is to develop a scalable GUI that is tailored to be simple and intuitive so non-expert operators can control the robot through a FIRA-regulated obstacle course. Using common practices from user interface development (UI) and understanding concepts described in human-robot interaction (HRI) and other related concepts, we will develop a new interface with the goal of a non-expert teleoperation system.
