In the field of human-robot interaction, the well-known uncanny valley hypothesis proposes
a curvilinear relationship between a robot's degree of human likeness and the observers' …

This review paper focuses on different aspects of perceived safety for a number of
autonomous physical systems. This is a major aspect of robotics research, as more and …

A major goal of humanoid robotics is to enable safe and reliable human-robot collaboration
in realworld scenarios. In this article, we present ARMAR-6, a new high-performance …

We conducted a literature review on sensor heads for humanoid robots. A strong case is
made on topics involved in human robot interaction. Having found that vision is the most …

Pleasurable user experience (UX) is an essential design target in human-technology
interaction. It helps to fulfil users' expectations and to complete tasks successfully, in both …

As autonomous driving technology progresses, the need for precise trajectory prediction
models becomes paramount. This paper introduces an innovative model that infuses …

Abstract Service robots are appearing more and more in our daily life. The development of
service robots combines multiple fields of research, from object perception to object …

In this work, we consider robotic systems for which the mass tensor is identified to be the
metric in a Riemannian manifold. Cost functional invariance is achieved by constructing it …

Besides the human physical safety also their perceived safety need to be taken into account
in human-robot interaction (HRI). For this reason, the Expectable Motion Unit (EMU) concept …

Many human-robot collaboration scenarios can be seen as a redundant leader-follower
setup where the human (ie, the leader) can potentially perform the task without the …
