Taxonomy of research on human interactions with intelligent systems

Abstract

The objective of the paper is to provide a taxonomy of current research on human interactions with intelligent systems. This embodies human-computer interactions, human-machine interactions, and human-robot interactions. The research undertakings are classified based on five criteria of: research approach, application, system autonomy, interaction distance, and interaction media. Additionally, more than 150 cited references are listed in summary tables with respect to each classification category. This provides an easy guide to search for related works with certain characteristics. The intelligent systems discussed in the paper cover a wide range, including: telerobots, virtual reality, user interfaces, bio-feedback, mobile robots, intelligent interfaces, sport machines, medical technology, human-machine interfaces, entertainment, intelligent systems, computer input/output devices, human-computer interfaces, and multimedia.
