Socially Aware Robot Obstacle Avoidance Considering Human Intention and PreferencesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 661-678 - 2021

In order to navigate safely and effectively with humans in close proximity, robots must be capable of predicting the future motions of humans. This study first consolidates human studies in motion, intention, and preference into a discretized human model that can readily be used in robotics decision making algorithms. Cooperative Markov Decision Process (Co-MDP), a novel framework that improves up...... hiện toàn bộ

Imitation learning allows social robots to learn new skills from human teachers without substantial manual programming, but it is difficult for robotic imitation learning systems to generalize demonstrated skills as well as human learners do. Contemporary neurocomputational approaches to imitation learning achieve limited generalization at the cost of data-intensive training, and often produce opa...... hiện toàn bộ

Finland is ranked rather high in international robot density statistics. In Finland, robots are typically used in applications where they operate in close proximity to humans. The research described in this paper, sourced from Finnish databases, identified 25 severe accidents which can be attributed to robots. The current accident data can provide an insight into the type of accidents associated w...... hiện toàn bộ

Sonic Sleight of Hand: Sound Induces Illusory Distortions in the Perception and Prediction of Robot ActionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-19 - 2024

For efficient human–robot interaction, human operators need to be able to efficiently represent the robot’s movements in space and predict its next steps. However, according to frameworks of Bayesian multisensory integration, features outside the motion itself—like the sounds a robot makes while it moves—should affect how otherwise identical motions are perceived. Here, we translate an established...... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of Unimodal and Multimodal Communication Cues for Attracting Attention in Human–Robot InteractionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 89-96 - 2014

One of the most common tasks of a robot companion in the home is communication. In order to initiate an information exchange with its human partner, the robot needs to attract the attention of the human. This paper presents results of two user studies (

Information technology, including digital devices, robots, and the internet, is of great interest in the field of education. Many previous studies have focused on improving lecturer–student communication during lectures. In this paper, we describe a new robot-teleoperation system for transferring students’ opinions or questions to the lecturer. Through this system, users can collaboratively choose...... hiện toàn bộ
The Role of Humans in Surgery AutomationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 563-580 - 2022

Innovation in healthcare promises unparalleled potential in optimizing the production, distribution, and use of the health workforce and infrastructure, allocating system resources more efficiently, and streamline care pathways and supply chains. A recent innovation contributing to this is robot-assisted surgeries (RAS). RAS causes less damage to the patient's body, less pain and discomfort, short...... hiện toàn bộ
