—Alan Turing proposed a test for the intelligence of machines in 1950 [1]. Despite great efforts, no computer has passed this test so far. Each year, chat bots compete for the Lo...
—This research aims to enable robots to learn from human teachers. Motivated by human social learning, we believe that a transparent learning process can help guide the human tea...
—Humans constantly generate and solve ambiguities while interacting with each other in their every day activities. Hence, having a robot that is able to solve ambiguous situation...
—Managing user expectations of personal robots becomes particularly challenging when the end-user just wants to know what the robot can do, and neither understands nor cares abou...
—Natural human-robot interaction requires different and more robust models of language understanding (NLU) than non-embodied NLU systems. In particular, architectures are require...
