Deliverable 2.1@M22: Human/IST-robotic systems interaction design model

This task outcomes human/IST-robotic interaction at two levels. Firstly, it outcomes a taxonomy scheme for humans/IST-robotic systems interaction in the context of collaborative working environments. The models could be built upon existing proposed taxonomies in human-computer interaction and previously developed ones in the robotics research field (time-space, multi-agent, autonomy level, teaming, etc.). Secondly, models at the lower interaction level will be developed, namely when a robotic system performs a given task in conjunction and coordination with humans when sharing a common working space, for instance through direct contact interaction (transporting/assembling of an object, etc). This implies motor tasks such as holding and transporting objects, performing assembly/disassembly tasks, etc. Human/IST-robot collaboration will require tackling issues such as: respecting control human behaviour, multimodal communication interchange, identifying human intentions, and a good coordination. Technically, we will focus on humanoids/human interaction paradigms encountered in various tasks in construction and in CWE context.
