The increasing popularity of robotics in modern society makes interacting and communicating with them of critical importance. Although one of the main goals in robotics research is to develop fully autonomous systems, the ability to control robots in teleoperation applications and provide guidance to them for semiautonomous tasks in a natural and intuitive way is still an important research goal. To this end, adjustable autonomy focuses on exploring the space between fully autonomous and fully telerobotic interfaces and how humans can naturally and easily communicate with robots to support human-robot interaction (HRI) within this spectrum. This special issue presents some of the latest research results in the exploration of natural user interfaces for robotic control and teleoperation.

机器人控制中可调节自主性的自然用户界面

机器人技术在现代社会的日益普及使得与他们互动和交流变得至关重要。尽管机器人研究的主要目标之一是开发完全自主的系统，但在遥操作应用中控制机器人并以自然和直观的方式为半自主任务提供指导的能力仍然是一个重要的研究目标。为此，可调节自主性侧重于探索完全自主和完全遥控机器人界面之间的空间，以及人类如何自然轻松地与机器人进行交流，以支持该范围内的人机交互 (HRI)。本期特刊介绍了探索用于机器人控制和远程操作的自然用户界面的一些最新研究成果。
