Marquardt, Nicolai, Young, James, Sharlin, Ehud and Greenberg, Saul (2009): Situated messages for asynchronous human-robot interaction. In: Proceedings of the 4th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction 2009. pp. 301-302. Available online

An ongoing issue in human robot interaction (HRI) is how people and robots communicate with one another. While there is considerable work in real-time human-robot communication, fairly little has been done in asynchronous realm. Our approach, which we call situated messages, lets humans and robots asynchronously exchange information by placing physical tokens -- each representing a simple message -- in meaningful physical locations of their shared environment. Using knowledge of the robot's routines, a person can place a message token at a location, where the location is typically relevant to redirecting the robot's behavior at that location. When the robot passes nearby that location, it detects the message and reacts accordingly. Similarly, robots can themselves place tokens at specific locations for people to read. Thus situated messages leverages embodied interaction, where token placement exploits the everyday practices and routines of both people and robots. We describe our working prototype, introduce application scenarios, explore message categories and usage patterns, and suggest future directions.

Marquardt, Nicolai and Greenberg, Saul (2007): Distributed physical interfaces with shared phidgets. In: Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Tangible and Embedded Interaction 2007. pp. 13-20. Available online

Tangible interfaces are best viewed as an interacting collection of remotely-located distributed hardware and software components. The problem is that current physical user interface toolkits do not normally offer distributed systems capabilities, leaving developers with extra burdens such as device discovery and management, low-level hardware access, and networking. Our solution is Shared Phidgets, a toolkit for rapidly prototyping distributed physical interfaces. It offers programmers 3 ways to access and control remotely-located hardware, and the ability to create abstract devices by transforming, aggregating and even simulating device capabilities. Network communication and low-level access to device hardware are handled transparently, regardless of device location.

People shouldn’t have to read a manual to open a door, even if it is only one word long (push/pull).
