Using Persona, Scenario, and Use Case to Develop a Human-Robot Augmented Reality Collaborative Workspace

Abstract

Up to date, methods from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) have not been widely adopted in the development of Human-Robot Interaction systems (HRI). In this paper, we describe a system prototype and a use case. The prototype is an augmented reality-based collaborative workspace. The envisioned solution is focused on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) where it should enable ordinary-skilled workers to program a robot on a high level of abstraction and perform collaborative tasks effectively and safely. The use case consists of a scenario and a persona, two methods from the field of HCI. We outline how we are going to use these methods in the near future to refine the task of the collaborating robot and human and the interface elements of the collaborative workspace.
