In this example, the Wizard Panel is populated by

the Furhat Robotics Test Skill, the skill provides a

number of buttons inside the Wizard Panel that

allow certain aspects of the Test Skill to be

controlled from within the Web-Console.

Attention Panel

Your robot can detect and track the presence of users within the robots interaction space using

it's onboard camera and the sensory perception features of FurhatOS. The Attention Panel

provides an abstract graphical representation of the robots attention model and supports

viewing the model from a top down (plan) and side (elevation) view point.

The Attention panel represents your

Robot using the blue/purple icon at the top

dead center of the representation.

Users that have been detected by the

robot are denoted using a gray/black icon

and given a sequential identity of the form

User-N. As the users move about the

interaction space the attention panel

updates their position dynamically.

In order to support interactive testing of skills, the Attention Panel enables you to add or remove

virtual users by double clicking within the interaction space, these users are given a sequential

identity of the form Virtual-User-N. To add a virtual user, simply double click inside the

interaction space, to remove the same virtual user simply double click the relevant virtual user

icon inside the interaction space.

If the running skill is attending to a particular user in the robots interaction space, the attention

panel will indicate this state with the label Attending User-N

Note that the interaction space can be defined and configured from within the skill
