— This paper introduces a new method to determine a person’s pose based on laser range measurements. Such estimates are typically a prerequisite for any human-aware robot navig...
—We are developing robots for inspection of the under floor of houses. The developed robot system is reported in this paper. The mobile robot platform is based on a crawer type r...
— This paper presents a distributed version of our previous work, called SAFDetection, which is a sensor analysisbased fault detection approach that is used to monitor tightlycou...
— It is advantageous for colony robots to be autonomous and self-sufficient. This requires them to perform their duties while maintaining enough energy to operate. Previously, we...
Abstract— In this paper we describe simulation of autonomous robots controlled by recurrent neural networks, which are evolved through indirect encoding using HyperNEAT algorithm...
We consider a swarm of robots equipped with an infrared range and bearing device that is able both to make estimates of the relative distance and angle between two robots in line-o...

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...
As robots become more pervasive, operators will develop richer relationships with them. In a 2 (robot form: humanoid vs. car) x 2 (assembler: self vs. other) between-participants ...

A general learning task for a robot in a new environment is to learn about objects and what actions/effects they afford. To approach this, we look at ways that a human partner c...
We present a preliminary implementation of a robot within the context of social skills intervention. The robot engages a human user in an interactive and adaptive game-playing ses...
