Elongate limbless robots have the potential to locomote through tightly packed spaces for applications such as search-and-rescue and industrial inspections. The capability to effectively and robustly maneuver elongate limbless robots is crucial to re...
Social Robot Lumen is a humanoid robot created to act like human and be human friend. In this study, Lumen scenario is limited on Lumen as an exhibition guide in Electrical Engineering Days 2015, a seminar and exhibition of electrical engineering und...
This study presents an empirical investigation into the design and impact of autonomous dialogues in human-robot interaction for behavior change coaching. We focus on the use of Haru, a tabletop social robot, and explore the implementation of the Tin...
Online data scraping has taken on new dimensions in recent years, as traditional scrapers have been joined by new AI-specific bots. To counteract unwanted scraping, many sites use tools like the Robots Exclusion Protocol (REP), which places a robots$...
Oct 22, 2025 · A squishy robotic "eye" can focus automatically in response to light, without any external power. The ultrapowerful robotic lens is sensitive enough to distinguish hairs on an ant's leg or the ...
Our research project (CHATTERS) is about designing a conversational robot for children's digital information search. We want to design a robot with a suitable conversation, that fosters a responsible trust relationship between child and robot. In thi...
This paper refers to an observational research that investigates preschool children's mental representations of robots. Our hypotheses were that: a) three to six years-old children think about robots as human-like entities, concerning to both the phy...
Aligning humans' assessment of what a robot can do with its true capability is crucial for establishing a common ground between human and robot partners when they collaborate on a joint task. In this work, we propose an approach to calibrate humans'...
This article addresses the localization problem in robotic autonomous luggage trolley collection at airports and provides a systematic evaluation of different methods to solve it. The robotic autonomous luggage trolley collection is a complex system...
In 2020, I designed the course CMSC 20630/30630 Human-Robot Interaction: Research and Practice as a hands-on introduction to human-robot interaction (HRI) research for both undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Chicago. Since 2020,...
Soft, growing inflated beam robots, also known as everting vine robots, have previously been shown to navigate confined spaces with ease. Less is known about their ability to navigate three-dimensional open spaces where they have the potential to col...
Playful deception, a common feature in human social interactions, remains underexplored in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Inspired by the Turkish Ice Cream (TIC) vendor routine, we investigate how bounded, culturally familiar forms of deception influ...
The TRUST workshop is the result of a collaboration between two established workshops in the field of Human-Robot Interaction: SCRITA (Trust, Acceptance and Social Cues in Human-Robot Interaction) and RTSS (Robot Trust for Symbiotic Societies). This...
In this paper, we investigate the roles that social robots can take in physical exercise with human partners. In related work, robots or virtual intelligent agents take the role of a coach or instructor whereas in other approaches they are used as mo...
In the early 20th century, the notion of a humanoid machine was developed. The first uses of modern robots were in factories as industrial robots. These
Oct 22, 2025 · A squishy robotic "eye" can focus automatically in response to light, without any external power. The ultrapowerful robotic lens is sensitive enough to distinguish hairs on an ant's leg or the ...
An industrial robot is a robot used for manufacturing. Industrial robots are automated, programmable and capable of movement on three or more axes. Typical
Our advanced Gemini 2.0-based models designed for the next generation of helpful robots. Gemini Robotics brings Gemini’s capacity for multimodal reasoning and world understanding into the physical wo…
