A prototype system for human-robot interaction based on the mental image of the task is described. The mental image is a visual model that reflects a real-world situation, such as object placement in the work space, and simulates the effects of robot action in this situation. A human operator estimates and plans the task using this mental image. The system architecture used to produce the mental image for the operator is presented.<
