Toward gesture-based programming: agent-based haptic skill acquisition and interpretation

摘要

Programming by human demonstration is a new paradigm for the development of robotic applications that focuses on the needs of task experts rather than programming experts. The traditional text-based programming paradigm demands the user be an expert in a particular programming language and further demands that the user can translate the task into this foreign language. This level of programming expertise generally precludes the user from having detailed task expertise because his/her time is devoted to the practice of programming, not the practice of the task. The goal of programming by demonstration is to eliminate both the programming language expertise and, more importantly, the expertise required to translate the task into the language. Gesture-Based Programming is a new form of programming by human demonstration that views the demonstration as a series of inexact "gestures" that convey the "intention " of the task strategy, not the details of the strategy itself. This is analogous...
