This paper proposes a model of metareasoning for HumanRobot Interaction (HRI). Robots’ basic abilities for HRI—planning, learning and dialogue—are characterized as three loops in the model, with each spanning ground, object and meta-level. The model provides a conceptualization of HRI and a framework for incremental development of large HRI systems such as service robots by building meta-level ...

The Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED), U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and partner Tank and Automotive Research Development Command (TARDEC) embarked on a 5-year Army Technology Objective (ATO) research program that addressed human robot interaction (HRI) and teaming for both unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGV). The program’s objective was to un...

Thirty-seven patients with thoracic and lumbar spine fractures were treated with Harrington rod instrumentation (HRI), and the progress and results of that surgery were monitored with intraoperative spinal sonography (IOSS). Adequate neural tissue decompression and spinal column alignment was achieved in less than one-half (14/31, 45%) of the patients in whom HRI was performed as the first step...

—In the field of human robot interaction (HRI), providing robot with emotions and psychology like human can be useful to achieve natural interaction. Previous HRI research focused on issues such as gesture recognition, speech recognition and path planning etc. Using the affective information obtained from multimodal interaction can improve the robot's perception to interaction object and enviro...

Post-weaning feed restriction strategies have proved to reduce mortality and morbidity, but result in decreased growth and lower slaughter yield. To compensate for those deleterious effects without negatively impacting the health parameters, we have studied the possibility of increasing the dietary energy level of the feed. Four treatments differing in dietary digestible energy content (“low” e...

Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) has recently received considerable attention in the academic community, in labs, in technology companies, and through the media. Because of this attention, it is desirable to present a survey of HRI to serve as a tutorial to people outside the field and to promote discussion of a unified vision of HRI within the field. The goal of this review is to present a unifie...

The Goals, Operators, Methods, and Selection rules (GOMS) method is a well-established means of modeling the procedures that humans use to interact with technology. We focus on two questions: what is different about using GOMS for human-robot interaction (HRI) versus using GOMS for traditional computer applications, and what are promising approaches for using GOMS to evaluate competing HRI desi...

Moving towards Industry 4.0, the idea of human-robot interaction (HRI) and collaboration (HRC) has been popularized. To introduce more robots into industries, risk-correlated issues would be always on hook as are not flexible human. In fact, although can replace human workers in some dangerous tasks, still safety is top priority for all industries. The most common way to safeguard was isolate w...

A eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2)-ancillary protein factor Co-eIF-2 promotes displacement of GDP from eIF-2 X GDP and facilitates ternary complex (Met-tRNAf X eIF-2 X GTP) formation in the presence of Mg2+. Heme-regulated protein synthesis inhibitor, HRI, phosphorylates the alpha-subunit of eIF-2 and thus inhibits ternary complex formation as Co-eIF-2 does not displace GDP from eIF-2 alp...
