This article reviews the state of the art in social eye gaze for human-robot interaction (HRI). It
establishes three categories of gaze research in HRI, defined by differences in goals and …

Modeling visual attention-particularly stimulus-driven, saliency-based attention-has been a
very active research area over the past 25 years. Many different models of attention are now …

Visual saliency analysis detects salient regions/objects that attract human attention in
natural scenes. It has attracted intensive research in different fields such as computer vision …

Based on concepts of the human visual system, computational visual attention systems aim
to detect regions of interest in images. Psychologists, neurobiologists, and computer …

Human performance in visual perception by far exceeds the performance of contemporary
computer vision systems. While humans are able to perceive their environment almost …

Object detection and recognition is a topic of significant interest in computer and robot
vision. It is required in most applications of computational vision, for example, biometric …

Ballard (1991) described the implications of having a visual system that could actively
position the camera coordinates in response to physical stimuli. In humanoid robotic …

The ability to autonomously acquire new knowledge through interaction with the
environment is an important research topic in the field of robotics. The knowledge can only …

Research in robotics has moved away from its primary focus on industrial applications. The
New Robotics is a vision that has been developed in past years by our own university and …

A major challenge for the realization of intelligent robots is to supply them with cognitive
abilities in order to allow ordinary users to program them easily and intuitively. One …
