RoGuE: Robot Gesture Engine
Conference Paper, Proceedings of AAAI '16 Spring Symposium, March, 2016
Abstract
We present the Robot Gesture Library (RoGuE), a motion-planning approach to generating gestures. Gestures improve robot communication skills, strengthening robots as partners in a collaborative setting. Previous work maps from environment scenario to gesture selection. This work maps from gesture selection to gesture execution. We create a flexible and common language by parameterizing gestures as task-space constraints on robot trajectories and goals. This allows us to leverage powerful motion planners and to generalize across environments and robot morphologies. We demonstrate RoGuE on four robots: HREB, ADA, CURI and the PR2.
