Several emerging computer devices read bio-electrical signals (e.g., electro-corticographic signals, skin biopotential or facial muscle tension) and translate them into computer- ...
The concept of the huggable robot Probo is a result of the desire to improve the living conditions of children in hospital environment. These children need distraction and lots of...
We describe recent work on PECAS, an architecture for intelligent robotics that supports multi-modal interaction. Categories and Subject Descriptors I.2.8 [Computing Methodologies...
The Wizard of Oz experiment method has a long tradition of acceptance and use within the field of human-robot interaction. The community has traditionally downplayed the importanc...
