Socially Aware Robot Obstacle Avoidance Considering Human Intention and PreferencesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 661-678 - 2021
Trevor Smith, Yuhao Chen, Nathan Hewitt, Boyi Hu, Yu Gu
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
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
Joel Currie, Maria Elena Giannaccini, Patric Bach
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
Human-Like Movements of Industrial Robots Positively Impact Observer PerceptionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 1399-1417 - 2022
Damian Hostettler, Simon Mayer, Christian Hildebrand
The number of industrial robots and collaborative robots on manufacturing shopfloors has been rapidly increasing over the past decades. However, research on industrial robot perception and attributions toward them is scarce as related work has predominantly explored the effect of robot appearance, movement patterns, or human-likeness of humanoid robots. The current research specifically examines a...... hiện toàn bộ
Measurement Instruments for the Anthropomorphism, Animacy, Likeability, Perceived Intelligence, and Perceived Safety of RobotsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 71-81 - 2008
Christoph Bartneck, Dana Kulić, Elizabeth Croft, Susana Zoghbi
This study emphasizes the need for standardized measurement tools for human robot interaction (HRI). If we are to make progress in this field then we must be able to compare the results from different studies. A literature review has been performed on the measurements of five key concepts in HRI: anthropomorphism, animacy, likeability, perceived intelligence, and perceived safety. The results have...... hiện toàn bộ
Designing Multi-Modal Conversational Agents for the Kitchen with Older Adults: A Participatory Design StudySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 1507-1523 - 2023
Sanna Kuoppamäki, Razan Jaberibraheem, Mikaela Hellstrand, Donald McMillan
Conversational agents (CA) are increasingly used to manage and coordinate household chores and everyday activities at home. However, these technologies should be adaptive to age-specific characteristics in order to be considered beneficial for the ageing population. This study presents a participatory design of a conversational agent to provide cognitive support in recipe following and nutrition a...... hiện toàn bộ
