A Socially Adaptable Framework for Human-Robot Interaction

Toward a Framework for Human-Robot Interaction

The goal of this article is to introduce the reader to the rich and vibrant field of robotics, in hopes of laying out an agenda for future research on human robot interaction. Robotics is a field in change; the meaning of the term “robot” today differs substantially from the term just a decade ago. The primary purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive description of past and present...

A Framework for Reusable Robot Behaviors in Human-Robot Interaction

Socially Assistive Robotics as a Subclass of Human-Robot Interaction

Extended Abstract Robotic technology has been proposed as a means of automating the most repetitive of health-care and daily hygiene tasks, including getting out of bed, brushing teeth and applying makeup, and facilitated locomotion. Such systems naturally require a great deal of physical contact with human users, resulting in safety issues and concerns that have not yet been fully addressed by...

Socially intelligent robots: dimensions of human-robot interaction.

Social intelligence in robots has a quite recent history in artificial intelligence and robotics. However, it has become increasingly apparent that social and interactive skills are necessary requirements in many application areas and contexts where robots need to interact and collaborate with other robots or humans. Research on human-robot interaction (HRI) poses many challenges regarding the ...

RoboChain: A Secure Data-Sharing Framework for Human-Robot Interaction

Robots have potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us. One of their largest potentials is in the domain of mobile health where they can be used to facilitate clinical interventions. However, to accomplish this, robots need to have access to our private data in order to learn from these data and improve their interaction capabilities. Furthermore, to enhance this le...
