— In this paper, a communication-efficient dynamic task scheduling algorithm for a heterogeneous multi-robot system is proposed. To make this task scheduling algorithm to be scal...
— A reconfigurable robot is a robot that can change shape. Programming reconfigurable robots is complicated by the need to adapt the behavior of each of the individual module t...

Abstract—Nonverbal behavior during human-human close encounters is critical to the accomplishment of natural interaction. For this reason, humanoid robots trying to achieve natur...
Abstract— In the framework of physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI), methodologies and experimental tests are presented for the problem of detecting and reacting to collisions ...
— We present a new behavior selection system for human-robot interaction that maps virtual buttons overlaid on the physical environment to the robot’s behaviors, thereby creati...

— A long cherished goal in artificial intelligence has been the ability to endow a robot with the capacity to learn and generalize skills from watching a human teacher. Such an ...
— Flying has an advantage when compared to ground based locomotion, as it simplifies the task of overcoming obstacles and allows for rapid coverage of an area while also providi...

— A hormone-inspired task scheduling method is described which assigns tasks to a group of robots, taking into account the robots’ performances. This method draws on previous w...
— When robot maintenance impedes the operation of other robots in a seaport container terminal, the operational efficiency is reduced. Therefore, robot reliability is necessary....
—This paper introduces a new approach to develop robots that can learn general affordance relations from their experiences. Our approach is a part of larger efforts to develop a ...
