A large proportion of “very humanlike” androids are assigned aesthetics typically associated with femininity. Ethical and discriminatory issues have yet to be given in-depth attention in procedural literature. This position paper suggests that implicitly viewing humanlike robots as agents that could, in future, substitute “undesirable” and/or exploitable humans may affect not just the robots' design,...
Interdisciplinary research, drawing from robotics, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science, is a cornerstone to advance the state-of-the-art in multimodal human-robot interaction and neuro-cognitive modeling. Research on neuro-cognitive models benefits from the embodiment of these models into physical, humanoid agents that possess complex, human-like sensorimotor capabilities...
The presence of robots in human lifestyle is no longer a distant reality, as robots are being employed in several fields, including educational purposes. However, most of the research in educational robotics does not use autonomous social behavior, but rather techniques like Wizard of Oz (WoZ). This paper presents the very first test in a school environment of a robotic architecture to control an...
Acceptance, trust and a successful deployment of robots in human's everyday life depends both on technical implementation and on psychological aspects. The current work identifies essential features and characteristics that have the potential to increase the acceptance of robots, reduce prejudices and improve the development of appropriate and suitable robots with target-group specific features and...
Individuals can easily change interaction roles during everyday tasks, for example by shifting from following someone's lead, to leading the task themselves. We are interested in how these existing social experiences scale to human-robot interaction (HRI). How would robots change their interaction roles when working with people? Would changes in interaction roles pose a challenge unique to robots?...
Puffy is a learning and playful robotic companion for pre-school children. Designed in cooperation with a team of educators and inspired by Disney's Baymax, Puffy has a combination of features which makes it unique with respect to existing robots used in educational contexts. It is mobile and has an egg-shaped inflatable and soft body; it supports multimodal interaction, reacting to children's gestures...
The ability of robots to dialogue with humans appears as one critical Human-Machine Interaction feature when it comes to transferring robots into society. This ability gains additional importance when it comes to elderly people, since they find it more comfortable and natural to interact using voice, due to possible natural physical impairments that hinder the usage of some of the interaction modalities...
This study aims to investigate the effects of information delivery types on users' perception toward the robot. We executed two experiments to explore appropriate information delivery types in each situation. In the first study, we compared which type of information delivery is suitable to the situation that the robot conveys environment states. In the second study, we examined a proper information...
This paper based on user's questionnaire data to discuss and suggest appearance/function of robotics for older adults. It starts from people's familiar view, particularly makes robot a rule that help people but not let people feel disturb. Questionnaire data are collected as basic data, data analysis and data mining are applied for distinguish people's different needs and situations. The questionnaire...
With the growing proliferation of robots in our society comes the natural concern of security. However, this is an often overlooked issue in robotic systems, as the focus is commonly placed in robot functionality and innovation. Unauthorized access to a robot, or a multi-robot network, may seriously compromise the system, potentially leading to unacceptable consequences, such as putting in danger...
When creating modern and visually appealing user experiences for the interaction with industrial robots, previously known and universally applicable paradigms in app and web design can be utilized to increase accessibility and usability of the to be created service. This is especially the case when the expected user group consists of untrained and inexperienced users and therefore system interaction...
We present a hybrid programming method for industrial robots combining advantages of manual haptic guidance of the end-effector and programming approaches using non-haptic pointing gestures for the spatial definition of poses and trajectories. Whereas the bare-hand spatial interaction can be implemented and performed cost- and time-efficiently but lacks accuracy, haptic-interaction is more time-consuming...
This paper focuses on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in a scenario where a robot has to recover from an assembly problem. For this purpose, a human interacts with the robot so that the task-specific knowledge and experience of the human can be used for recovery. The question which interaction method is the most successful for this problem will be answered by a user study with 31 participants. Four...
First evidence suggests that introducing robots by means of a narrative story can lead to more positive interactions and evaluations [1]. It is unclear whether this positive framing of robots by narratives works equally for different robot design approaches and appearances. To address this open question we conducted 2×6 between-subjects online experiment and varied the introduction (narrative vs....
Cobots (collaborative robots) are revolutionising industries by allowing robots to work in close collaboration with humans. But many companies hesitate their adoption, due to the lack of programming experts. In this work, we evaluate a robot programming framework for non-expert users, that requires users to teach action models expressed in a symbolic planning language (PDDL). These action models would...
All mechanical and electronic systems can run into performance degradation including robot Manipulators. One cause of such performance degradation is due to the occurrence of fault on the actuator. The occurrence of actuator fault on Robot Manipulator 2 DOF (Degree of Freedom) will make tracking of the robot shifted from its reference, cause signal deviation and enlarge overshoot. Estimation and compensation...
High dynamic capabilities of industrial robots make them dangerous for humans and environment. To reduce this factor and advance collaboration between human and manipulator fast and reliable collision detection algorithm is required. To overcome this problem, we present an approach allowing to detect collision, localize action point and classify collision nature. Internal joint torque and encoder...
Programming by Demonstration (PbD) is a promising technique for programming mobile manipulators to perform complex tasks, such as stocking shelves in retail environments. However, programming such tasks purely by demonstration can be cumbersome and time-consuming as they involve many steps and they are different for each item being manipulated. We propose a system that allows programming new tasks...
We present a learning from demonstration (LfD) framework that uses a deep recurrent Q-network (DRQN) to learn how to deliver a behavioral intervention (BI) from demonstrations performed by a human. The trained DRQN enables a robot to deliver a similar BI in an autonomous manner. BIs are highly structured procedures wherein children with developmental delays/disorders (e.g. autism, ADHD, etc.) are...
For service robots to be well received in our daily lives, it is desirable that they appear as friendly as possible rather than some unfriendly characters. While a robot's physical appearance influences this perception, its behavior also has an impact. In order to be sure that a specific robot behavior will be correctly perceived, we propose to its potential users to shape the robot's behavior. In...
