Summary:

This doctoral thesis by Marcus Mast explores human-robot interaction in the context of semi-autonomous assistive robots designed to aid elderly individuals in their homes. The research addresses challenges faced by autonomous service robots in domestic environments, proposing a model where human operators assist robots when they encounter tasks beyond their autonomous capabilities. The study is structured in four phases: understanding the context of use, identifying interaction requirements, designing user interfaces for various user groups, and evaluating the utility of specific interface features such as global 3D environment maps and stereoscopic displays. The research contributes to the design of systems that enhance the independence of elderly people while ensuring user satisfaction and effective human-robot collaboration. Generated by AI.
