Abstract:
Past research contained the investigation and development of robotic ultrasound. In this context, interfaces which allow for interaction with the robotic system are of paramount importance. Few researchers have addressed the issue of developing non-tactile interaction approaches, although they could be beneficial for maintaining sterility during medical procedures. Interaction could be supported by multimodality, which has the potential to enable intuitive and natural interaction. To assess the feasibility of multimodal interaction for non-tactile control of a co-located robotic ultrasound system, a novel human–robot interaction concept was developed.
