— The rapidly increasing complexity of tasks robotic systems are expected to carry out underscores the need for the development of motion planners that can take into account disc...
We present a preliminary implementation of a robot within the context of social skills intervention. The robot engages a human user in an interactive and adaptive game-playing ses...
—Nonverbal behaviors serve as a rich source of information in inter human communication. In particular, motion cues can reveal details on a person’s current physical and mental...
The joint controllers used in robots like the Sony Aibo are designed for the task of moving the joints of the robot to a given position. However, they are not well suited to the pr...
To build autonomous robots capable to plan and control tasks in human environments, we need a description of trajectories that allows the robot to reason on his moves. In this pape...
