— The study presented in this paper explores people perception of robots, with a particular focus on domestic use. We addressed issues related to positive and negative attitudes ...
Abstract— Kinodynamic planning algorithms like RapidlyExploring Randomized Trees (RRTs) hold the promise of finding feasible trajectories for rich dynamical systems with complex...
Affect sensitivity is of the utmost importance for a robot companion to be able to display socially intelligent behaviour, a key requirement for sustaining long-term interactions ...
— Social robots face the fundamental challenge of detecting and adapting their behavior to the current social mood. For example, robots that assist teachers in early education mu...
Decision-theoretic reasoning and planning algorithms are increasingly being used for mobile robot navigation, due to the signi cant uncertainty accompanying the robots' perce...
