Research Abstract	Conventional tele-operation ways need a vast amount of information ex-change between remote site and local site. Especially, in case of tele-opration through the internet, we can not ignore communication time-delay by causing physical limitation. On the other hands, to let robots perform our desired works easily, some human friendly interface techniques will be necessary. In other words, we need to develop some human-interface devices or methods without complex operation as operators never feel un-comfortable. In order to solve these problems, we applied human natural communication to human-robot interface for teleoperation. We construct interactive human-friendly man-machine interface and a fundamental sys-tem. With our proposed method, every human operator, men and women of all ages, can easily transfer his or her intention to the robot.
