Human-robot interaction currently takes many forms. Dangerous tasks, such as urban search and rescue … and hazardous material clean up …, require a human operator to be removed from the physical location of the robot. Robots that assist the elderly … and the handicapped … share the same physical space with their users, often transporting them through the world. Others … provide entertainment and companionship for people. We maintain that human-robot interaction(HRI) is a subset of the field of human-computer interaction(HCI). 1, record 1, English, - human%2Drobot%20interaction

The IMP can detect mines buried in the ground to a maximum depth of 45 centimeters(18 inches), but it would take a highly trained operator to notice mines buried that deep. In its plastic tubular search head there are three coils. One transmits while the other two receive. Together these coils generate a magnetic induction bridge that is initially balanced for zero coupling. When the search head passes over a metallic object the induction bridge becomes unstable and produces an audible signal in the headset. 2, record 4, English, - IMP%20mine%20detector
