چکیده

To study how robots can work better with humans as a team, we have designed an agent-based online testbed that supports virtual simulation of domain-independent human-robot interaction. The simulation is implemented as an online game where humans and virtual robots work together in simulated scenarios. This testbed allows researchers to carry out human-robot interaction studies and gain better understanding of, for example, how a robot’s communication can improve human-robot team performance by fostering better trust relationships among humans and their robot teammates. In this paper, we discuss the requirements, challenges and the design of such human-robot simulation. We illustrate its operation with an example human-robot joint reconnaissance task.

Navigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network

Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...

An Experimental Study on Blinking and Eye Movement Detection via EEG Signals for Human-Robot Interaction Purposes Based on a Spherical 2-DOF Parallel Robot

Blinking and eye movement are one of the most important abilities that most people have, even people with spinal cord problem. By using this ability these people could handle some of their activities such as moving their wheelchair without the help of others. One of the most important fields in Human-Robot Interaction is the development of artificial limbs working with brain signals. The purpos...

Human-Friendly Interaction in Intelligent Sweet Home

This paper discusses some important issues of interaction in the “Intelligent Sweet Home” which is an on-going project on a smart house. Various forms of man-machine interaction frequently occur in the house mainly by means of three subsystems: hand pointing/gesture recognition subsystem, a set of multiple robotic agents, and a virtual environment as a model of the house. In the virtual environ...

Embodiment and Interaction in Socially Intelligent Life-Like Agents

This chapter addresses embodied social interaction in lifelike agents. Embodiment is discussed from both artificial intelligence and psychology viewpoints. Different degrees of embodiment in biological, virtual and robotic agents are discussed, given the example of a bottomup, behavior-oriented, dynamic control of virtual robots. A ‘dancing with strangers’ experiment shows how the same principl...
