Human-Inspired Robotic Eye-Hand Coordination Enables New Communication Channels Between Humans and Robots.

ABSTRACT: This paper concerns human-inspired robotic eye-hand coordination algorithms using custom built robotic eyes that were interfaced with a Baxter robot. Eye movement was programmed anthropomorphically based on previously reported research on human eye-hand coordination during grasped object transportation. Robotic eye tests were first performed on a component level where accurate position and temporal control were achieved. Next, 11 human subjects were recruited to observe the novel robotic system to quantify the ability of robotic eye-hand coordination algorithms to convey two kinds of information to people during object transportation tasks: first, the transported object's delivery location and second, the level of care exerted by the robot to transport the object. Most subjects correlated
