Human-Robot Interaction: Designing Intuitive Interfaces for Automation

Abstract

Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is a critical field in robotics, focusing on optimizing the way humans and robots interact. As robots become more integrated into various sectors, designing intuitive interfaces is essential to ensure seamless collaboration and efficient task execution. This article explores the principles and practices behind designing user-friendly interfaces for robots, emphasizing usability, accessibility, and user experience. We review current trends, challenges, and innovative approaches in interface design, and propose guidelines for creating interfaces that enhance human-robot interaction. Case studies from industrial, healthcare, and service robotics are examined to illustrate successful implementations and highlight areas for future research.
