Abstract

This paper described Humatornics for symmetrical communication between a human and robots. Recently, we use various types of systems based on electronics. However, these systems are not useful and imposes burden. The electronics for solving these problems are called “Humatronics”. Advanced humatronics are mostly needed for natural communication between human and system To realize humatronics, a system understands human using various sensor, architecture, and so on. Therefore we focused on Robot Technology Middleware (RTM). RT Middleware was developed by AIST (Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Japan) for easily integrating robot systems by modularized software components. By constructing modules based on RT Middleware, we developed modules, which are functional elements to interact with human as components of easily system integration. Firstly this paper describes ”Humatonics” and RT-Middleware. Secondly we show a system, which is based on humatronics concept using RT-Middleware.
