Abstract
Humanoid in form or not, human interaction with robots (HRI) has long implied mighty, but subservient, robots in the popular culture. This is depicted in the K9 role in BBC’s science fiction series Dr. Who (shown in Figure 12.1a); the robot from the U.S. television series Lost in Space (Figure 12.1b); and the U.S. Navy’s SPAWAR robot prototype named Robart, an armed robot that can track anything that moves (Figure 12.1c). An interesting and illuminating early example of human-robot interaction has been the robotic wheelchair system (Yanco, 2000)—here, interactions demonstrate negotiation over degrees of autonomy that the human has granted to the robot (Yanco and Drury, 2004).
