- Age : Can vary from mid-20s to a variable age where-in the individual is active in a Robotics Lab
- Education : Well-educated individuals with analytical skills and ability to comprehend mathematical charts. They would be highly motivated to perform research tasks and familiar with the specifics of their hardware and software
- Physical Limitations : Our user audience is one that is capable of being mobile on the robotic arena to justify the need for a mobile interface.
- Computer experience: Expert computer users who mostly use Linux based systems and are familiar with medium to heavy command line use. They understand networking at a medium level i.e. know what an IP address is and are familiar with TCP, UDP, broadcast, etc
- Motivation: Motivated robotics researchers who are willing to dedicate large amounts of time to understanding robot dynamics, interactions, controls. They are Current interfaces are available only on desktops and the outputs are floats with very little flexibility on the graphical/statistical representation of data and selectivity of the comm channel.experimentalists but are too busy to dedicate large amounts of time to learning new interfaces unless its use is immediately obvious. Communication latency and delay are important considerations for the interface model they use.
- Domain Experience : May have used communication tools such as LCM before
- Application Experience : May have used desktop applications such as LCM-spy (previous desktop interface) whose output is an array of floats.
- Work Environment and Social Context: This user class works in 5-20 person labs. They are willing and able to ask for help and collaborate significantly with each other in terms of exchanging tools and debating results. Environment noise level varies: one user operates a wind tunnel and another user operates a very loud air compressor.
