Abstract

Continuous advancements in the field of robotics and its increasing spread across heterogeneous application scenarios make the development of ever more effective user interfaces for human-robot interaction (HRI) an extremely relevant research topic. In particular, Natural User Interfaces (NUIs), e.g., based on hand and body gestures, proved to be an interesting technology to be exploited for designing intuitive interaction paradigms in the field of HRI. However, the more sophisticated the HRI interfaces become, the more important is to provide users with an accurate feedback about the state of the robot as well as of the interface itself. In this work, an Augmented Reality (AR)-based interface is deployed on a head-mounted display to enable tele-operation of a remote robot team using hand movements and gestures. A user study is performed to assess the advantages of wearable AR compared to desktop-based AR in the execution of specific tasks.
