In many settings, such as home care or mobile environments, demands on users' attention, or users' anticipated level of formal training, or other on-site conditions will...
We present an approach to teach incrementally human gestures to a humanoid robot. The learning process consists of first projecting the movement data in a latent space and encodin...
Robots that interact with humans face-to-face using natural language need to be responsive to the way humans use language in those situations. We propose a psychologicallyinspired...
