We are developing robots with socially appropriate spatial skills not only to travel around or near people, but also to accompany people side-by-side. As a step toward this goal, ...
Lifelike, interactive digital characters, serving as mentors and role-playing actors, have been shown to significantly improve learner motivation and retention. However, the cost...
Abstract--A prominent emerging theory of sensorimotor development in biological systems proposes that control knowledge is encoded in the dynamics of physical interaction with the ...
The authors’ aim in this work is to develop an easy-to-use computer-human interaction (CHI) platform. In this paper, i-ball 2 (interactive/information ball 2) is introduced as a...
This paper concerns the design of physical languages for controlling and programming robotic consumer products. For this purpose we explore basic theories of semiotics represented...
