Robot Communication Via Motion: Closing the Underwater Human-Robot Interaction Loop
水中ロボットが「ボディランゲージ」として動きを用いて人間に情報伝達する手法を提案し、色付きライト点滅のベースラインと比較するユーザー研究で、動きが正確で習得しやすく追加ハード不要な通信手段であることを示した。

In this paper, we propose a novel method for underwater robot-to-human communication using the motion of the robot as "body language". To evaluate this system, we develop simulated examples of the system's body language gestures, called kinemes, and compare them to a baseline system using flashing colored lights through a user study. Our work shows evidence that motion can be used as a successful communication vector which is accurate, easy to learn, and quick enough to be used, all without requiring any additional hardware to be added to our platform. We thus contribute to "closing the loop" for human-robot interaction underwater by proposing and testing this system, suggesting a library of possible body language gestures for underwater robots, and offering insight on the design of nonverbal robot-to-human communication methods.
