Here we will perform our task analysis for the TiLAR user interface

---

(These questions come from Dan Olsen's "Developing User Interfaces" book, pg 32)

'''What does the user want to do?'''

• I want the robot to act sad, wait for input, then act happy
• I want the robot to perform sabotage, using its left/right arm
• I want the robot to encourage the child to interact positively with other people
• I want the robot to imitate the therapist
• I want the robot to imitate the therapist with a delay (therapist moves, 2 seconds later, the robot mimicks)
• I want the robot to react to something the child or therapist does

'''What information objects are required?'''

• Command
• : Name, Duration, Animation, SoundOverlay
• RobotController
• : List of Commands (+ Stop, Mimic, and DoNothing)
• Trigger
  • CommandNode (destination node)
  • And one of the following:
• :* Sensor condition
• :*: SensorID, TriggerRange
• :* Remote-Control choice
• :*: Image
• :* Camera/Pose classification
• :*: Ideal pose
• :* Timer elapsed
• :*: Duration
• :* Play/Loop-count depleted
• :*: Count
• :* Instantaneous Trigger
• CommandNode
• : Command(s), Tag, List of Triggers (paths/edges to children nodes)
• CurrentCommandNode
• Sequence
• : Trigger

'''What actions are required?'''

INCOMPLETE - FIX THIS!

• RobotController
• : GetCommands() → List of Commands
• : Run(Command)
• : Stop
• List of Commands
