Abstract
rnABSTRACT SRI has developed a prototype of a multimodal user interface for small mobile robots that will help dis-mounted warfighters to conduct reconnaissance and safely enter urban areas occupied by hostile forces. By providing input via voice, pointing, and drawing, the multimodal user interface takes advantage of the natu-ral ways in which humans communicate. The novel aspect of our user interface is that the operator can directly interact with the video imagery and map data so as to easily and efficiently specify spatial locations and relationships. The user interface also enables the operator to task the robots with semiautonomous behav-iors that combine both operator-supplied and robot-supplied information. SRI implemented the user inter-face on a notebook computer and demonstrated it controlling a wheeled robot.
