We define the nervous system of a robot as the processing unit responsible for controlling the robot body, together with the links between the processing unit and the sensorimotor hardware of the robot - i.e., the equivalent of the central nervous sy...
In this study, we propose an automatic diary generation system that uses information from past joint experiences with the aim of increasing the favorability for robots through shared experiences between humans and robots. For the verbalization of the...
Robots can now learn how to make decisions and control themselves, generalizing learned behaviors to unseen scenarios. In particular, AI powered robots show promise in rough environments like the lunar surface, due to the environmental uncertainties....
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, conducting Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) studies in person is not permissible due to social distancing practices to limit the spread of the virus. Therefore, a virtual reality (VR) simulation with a virtual robot may off...
Robots are increasingly used in shared environments with humans, making effective communication a necessity for successful human-robot interaction. In our work, we study a crucial component: active communication of robot intent. Here, we present an a...
Human-robot teaming offers great potential because of the opportunities to combine strengths of heterogeneous agents. However, one of the critical challenges in realizing an effective human-robot team is efficient information exchange - both from the...
I’m at a point where I need some honest, no-BS advice from people who are actually in engineering / robotics. I’m interested in robotics, but I keep having second thoughts not because I hate the ...
model. It is tailored for robotics applications and can understand new situations. There is a related version called Gemini Robotics-ER, which stands for embodied
When encountering a robot in the wild, it is not inherently clear to human users what the robot's capabilities are. When encountering misunderstandings or problems in spoken interaction, robots often just apologize and move on, without additional eff...
giant robot or simply robot, is a genre of anime and manga that feature mecha in battle. The genre is broken down into two subcategories; "super robot", featuring
Robots playing soccer often rely on hard-coded behaviors that struggle to generalize when the game environment change. In this paper, we propose a temporal logic based approach that allows robots' behaviors and goals to adapt to the semantics of the...
Alfred Lanning (Cromwell) and believes that a human-like robot called Sonny (Tudyk) murdered him. I, Robot was released in the United States on July 16
