| contents | Recent advancements in robotics have underscored the need for effective collaboration between humans and robots. Traditional interfaces often struggle to balance robot autonomy with human oversight, limiting their practical application in complex tasks like mobile manipulation. This study aims to develop an intuitive interface that enables a mobile manipulator to autonomously interpret user-provided sketches, enhancing user experience while minimizing burden. We implemented a web-based application utilizing machine learning algorithms to process sketches, making the interface accessible on mobile devices for use anytime, anywhere, by anyone. In the first validation, we examined natural sketches drawn by users for 27 selected manipulation and navigation tasks, gaining insights into trends related to sketch instructions. The second validation involved comparative experiments with five grasping tasks, showing that the sketch interface reduces workload and enhances intuitiveness compared to conventional axis control interfaces. These findings suggest that the proposed sketch interface improves the efficiency of mobile manipulators and opens new avenues for integrating intuitive human-robot collaboration in various applications. |
