Current Humanoid Service Robot (HSR) behaviours mainly rely on static models that cannot
adapt dynamically to meet individual customer attitudes and preferences. In this work, we …

As robots start to work alongside people, they are expected to coordinate fluently with
humans in teams. Many researchers have explored the problems involved in building more …

Sustaining real-world human-robot interactions re-quires robots to be sensitive to human
behavioural idiosyn-crasies and adapt their perception and behaviour models to cater to …

This paper provides a detailed overview of a case study of applying Continual Learning (CL)
to a single-session Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) session (avg. 31+-10 minutes), where a …

In this paper, we present our work in close-distance non-verbal communication with tabletop
robot Haru through hand gestural interaction. We implemented a novel hand gestural …

The aim of human-robot interaction (HRI) is that people intuitively understand robots. When
integrating humanoid robots into our daily lives, a myriad of factors can influence how a …

Humans are very good at interacting and collaborating with each other. This ability is based
on mutual understanding and is supported by a continuous exchange of information …

In this paper we develop a gestural communication perception system for a social robot
companion that is able to autonomously learn novel gestures on-the-fly. The system …

Collaboration between human supervisors and remote teams of robots is highly challenging,
particularly in high-stakes, distant, hazardous locations, such as off-shore energy platforms …

In conversations between humans, a natural body and head orientation towards the
interlocutor is important for their social interaction. Humanoids communicating with humans …
