Abstract :
We present a computational framework and experimental platform for robot navigation that allows for a user-friendly, graphical and haptic interaction with the human operator during the deployment process. The operator can see, feel, and manipulate the artificial potential field that drives the robot through an environment cluttered with obstacles. We present a case study in which the operator rescues a robot trapped in a local minimum of a navigation potential field.
