This research explores interactive games using hand and face tracking with a robot as a tool for autism therapy. The robot is equipped with a head and two arms, each with two degre...
Abstract. In this paper, we present the results of a pilot study of a human robot interaction experiment where the rhythm of the interaction is used as a reinforcement signal to le...
Abstract. There is a growing trend of social robots to move into the human environment. This research is set up to find the trends within social robotic designs. A sample of socia...

Abstract — The natural environments that robotic applications often encounter can present difficult problems for imagebased task execution. Prior efforts have used both grayscale...
This paper discusses the simulation of vehicle kinematics with SimVis3D and the Newton Game Dynamics Engine. As running example a Pioneer1 like robot is used. First its differenti...
Abstract. The idea of component-based software engineering was proposed more that 40 years ago, yet only few robotics software frameworks follow these ideas. The main problem with ...
Abstract. Existing legged robots lack energy-efficiency, performance and adaptivity when confronted with situations that animals cope with on a routine basis. Bridging the gap bet...
