Frensch and Oliver Brock Preface The way in which humans and the devices that surround them interact is changing fast. The gaming business is pushing the trend towards more natural ways of interaction; the WII and KINNECT are good examples of this. Children are becoming familiar with these new interaction approaches, guaranteeing that we will use them in more “serious” applications in the future. Human-robot interaction is one of those applications that have attracted the attention of the research community. Here, the space sharing between robots and humans introduces an additional challenge, the risk management. In this book, the reader will find a set of papers divided into two sections. The first one presents different proposals focused on the development process itself. The second one is devoted to different aspects of the interaction, with special emphasis on the physical interaction. I would like to thank all of the authors for their contribution, my colleagues of the Smart and Autonomous System in TEKNIKER for their collaboration in the revision process and, of course, InTech for making the publication of this book possible.
