Human-robot musical interaction typically consists of independent, physically-separated agents. We developed Cyther a human-playable, self-tuning robotic zither – to allow a human and a robot to interact cooperatively through the same physical medium to generate music. The resultant codependence creates new responsibilities, roles, and expressive possibilities for human musicians. We describe s...

The HRTeam framework supports research on discovering and evaluating methods for addressing a range of issues in human/multi-robot team interaction. Three sample tasks illustrate the methods currently being investigated: mission selection, dictated by a human operator; collision avoidance, taught by a human trainer; and targeted exploration, jointly achieved with a human collaborator. Physical ...

A speech-driven embodied interactive actor called InterActor with both functions of speaker and listener is developed for activating human interaction and communication by generating expressive actions and motions coherently related to speech input. InterActor is the electronic media version of physical interaction robot called InterRobot for robot-mediated communication support, which sets fre...

Collaborative robots are becoming increasingly important for advanced manufacturing processes. The purpose of this paper is to determine the capability a novel Human-Robot-interface be used machine hole drilling. Using developed voice activation system, environmental factors on speech recognition accuracy considered. research investigates Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients-based feature extrac...
