Research Abstract

The proposed system allows novice users to conduct robot-programming tasks without mastering complicated programming skills and knowledge and create original contents in the physical world in an easy manner. A new robot is designed and developed so that it can its position in a 3D space. The evaluations of the proposed system show that users can easily create a traffic simulator or design games using robots. Applications to urban planning tasks and 3D user interfaces are investigated.
