User:Tealatte~enwiki/teaching by touching

There is a need to do some sort of programming each time a motion needs to be taught to a robot. Most available ways are unnatural, not as intuitive as how a human would communicate to others. Teaching by touching aims to mimic how dance and sport instructors use touch to adjust their students' posture into human-robot interactions.

Comparison with Kinesthetic Demonstration
Teaching by touching (TbT) allows teaching the whole body robot motion just by a single touch, which is difficult to realize by Kinesthetic Demonstration where the user needs to manually move the robot's limbs. This is made possible since there is an interpretation of touch instructions by the robot so the robot modifies its poses accordingly.

Issues
The main issues here lies on the interpretation by the robot.
