In recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and especially in robotics we can
observe a tendency towards building intelligent artefacts that are meant to be social, to have …

Three experiments and a computational analysis were conducted to investigate the effects of
a delegation-type interface on human supervision of simulated multiple unmanned vehicles …

Bending soft robots must be structured and predictable to be used in applications such as a
grasping hand. We developed soft robot fingers with embedded bones to improve the …

The development of an autonomous social robot, Cherry, is occurring in tandem with studies
gaining potential user preferences, likes, dislikes, and perceptions of her features. Thus far …

Can a robot understand a human's social behavior? Moreover, how should a robot act in
response to a human's behavior? If the goals of artificial intelligence are to understand …

We present an approach to human-robot interaction through gesture-free spoken dialogue.
Our approach is based on passive knowledge rarefication through goal disambiguation, a …

This paper describes an architecture, which can be used to build remote laboratories to
interact remotely via Internet with mobile robots using different interaction devices. A …

El objetivo de esta tesis es el desarrollo de una arquitectura software para un laboratorio
remoto en el campo de robótica móvil para facilitar la interacción remota con robots móviles …

Service robots are mobile, embodied artefacts that operate in co presence with their users.
This is a challenge for human-robot interaction (HRI) design. The robot's interfaces must …

The term robot comes from the Slavic word rabota, which means labour or work. It was first
introduced into English vocabulary by the Czech playwright Karel Capek in his 1920 science …
