Abstract :
This paper outlines the user interfaces to a modularised sensing system designed to locate and recognise objects within a robot´s workspace. The interface has been divided into three layers each designed for different levels of user operation. At the lowest level the user is concerned with the hardware and software employed to extract information from the workspace. The middle level deals with the way in which the extracted information is presented to the higher level users. At the highest level the interface is responsible for allowing the user to deal with the extracted information in the required way. A description of the three layers is given together with the philosophy behind their design and implementation
