Navigation is a basic skill for autonomous robots. In the last years human–robot interaction
has become an important research field that spans all of the robot capabilities including …

The future robots are expected to work in a shared physical space with humans [1]; however,
the presence of humans leads to a dynamic environment that is challenging for mobile …

In this work, we describe an autonomous mobile robotic system for finding, investigating,
and modeling ambient noise sources in the environment. The system has been fully …

Introducing simple robotic platforms into domestic environments is faced with the challenge
of social acceptability. Therefore human-aware navigation is a must for robots operating in …

In this work, we present a novel approach to human-aware navigation by probabilistically
modelling the uncertainty of perception for a social robotic system and investigating its effect …

In this paper we consider the problem of reconstructing the spatial support of noise sources
from boundary measurements using cross correlation techniques. We consider media with …

Robots are no longer going to be isolated machines working in factory or merely research
platforms used in controlled lab environment. Very soon, robots will be the part of our day-to …

Covertly tracking mobile targets, either animal or human, in previously unmapped outdoor
natural environments using off-road robotic platforms requires both visual and acoustic …

With the growth of successes in pattern recognition and signal processing, mobile robot
applications today are increasingly equipping their hardware with microphones to improve …

Intelligent robotic systems need to be aware of humans if these humans' activities are not to
be disturbed by the robot's presence. When a robot is performing an activity, the acoustic …
