Visual Robot Programming for Generalizable Mobile Manipulation Tasks

S. Alexandrova, Z. Tatlock, and M. Cakmak, “Visual Robot Programming for Generalizable Mobile Manipulation Tasks,” in ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) – Late breaking reports, 2015, pp. 163–164, doi: 10.1145/2701973.2702052.

Abstract

General-purpose robots present the opportunity to be programmed for a specific purpose em after deployment. This requires tools for end-users to quickly and intuitively program robots to perform useful tasks in new environments. In this paper, we present a flow-based visual programming language (VPL) for mobile manipulation tasks, demonstrate the generalizability of tasks programmed in this VPL, and present a preliminary user study of a development tool for this VPL.
