Abstract:

In this paper, we present a wearable interaction system to enhance interaction between a human user and a humanoid robot. The wearable interaction system assists the user and enhances interaction with the robot by intuitively imitating the user motion while expressing multimodal commands to the robot and displaying multimodal sensory feedback. AMIO, the biped humanoid robot of the AIM Laboratory, was used in experiments to confirm the performance and effectiveness of the proposed system, including the overall performance of motion tracking. Through an experimental application of this system, we successfully demonstrated human and humanoid robot interactions.
