Ecological interface enabling human-embodied cognition in mobile robot teleoperation

Abstract

ohn He believes that the best strategy to solve problems of coordination is to use abstraction and, as a tool, the state space representation of the task. Abstraction, as an alternative to reduction, deals with complexity by searching for global relational properties that exist somewhat inde-pendently of the elements whose behavior they govern. This point is commonly addressed by the idea of ecological interface originally proposed by Kim Vicente and Jens In their paper, they criticized the inconvenience of the current interface design by describing an imaginary teleoperated task "to tie one's shoes"; the display and actuating capabilities available to human actors were too restricted for them to execute their intrinsic skills with an unaided eye. It was quite difficult for them to react to
