An Interactive Augmented Reality Interface for Personalized Proxemics Modeling: Comfort and Human–Robot Interactions
Understanding and respecting personal space preferences is essential for socially assistive robots designed for older adult users. This work introduces and evaluates a novel personalized context-aware method for modeling users’ proxemics preferences during human-robot interactions. Using an interactive augmented reality interface, we collected a set of user-preferred distances … [Read more...] about An Interactive Augmented Reality Interface for Personalized Proxemics Modeling: Comfort and Human–Robot Interactions
