Assistive HRI interface with perceptual feedback control: an approach to customizing assistance based on user dexterity
… of user dexterity for human-robot interaction (HRI). Customizing the assistive HRI interface, in practice, is a challenging problem due to the variety of user’s task-performance and task-performing characteristics. For this reason, we develop a method to assist a user with strategies of a …

Unlocking the potential of remote sensing for kelp biomass estimation in South African Kelp Concession Areas
The use of high-resolution imagery (HRI) has the potential to improve the accuracy of kelp biomass estimates, ensuring the implementation of sustainable harvesting. However, definitive research on the potential of HRI in this application is lacking in the current literature. An accurate estimation …

The benefits of other-oriented robot deception in human-robot interaction
… especially in human-robot interaction (HRI) situations. Specifically, the goal of this dissertation is to develop a social robot's deceptive behaviors that can produce benefits for the deceived humans (other-oriented robot deception). To achieve other-oriented robot deception, several …

Mixed Reality Human Robot Interaction Interface using Hand Tracking and Stereo Vision for Unknown and Hazardous Environments
… through an intuitive Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) system. The methodology involves mounting a ZEDM stereo camera, attached to a 2-axis servo-actuated gimbal, on the end effector of a 6-axis robot arm. Stereo images are streamed to a Meta Quest 2 virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD), …

Toward an Argumentation-based Dialogue framework for Human-Robot Collaboration
… through argumentation-based dialogue to an HRI system improves system performance and user experience during a collaborative task when compared to an HRI system that is capable of only supervisory interaction with minimal dialogue. Results from user studies in physical and simulated …

Towards a framework for architecting heterogeneous teams of humans and robots for space exploration
… of literature on human robotic interactions (HRI), there is not yet a framework that lends itself both to a formal representation of heterogeneous teams of humans and robots, and to an evaluation of such teams across a series of common, task-based metrics. My objective in this thesis is to lay …

Spatial coordination - human and robotic communicative whole-body motions in narrow passages
… via robotic and human whole-body motions in HRI. Humans have the natural ability to nonverbally communicate with each other via whole-body motion and are very able to interpret and predict motions of others, e.g., in order to coordinate themselves with others in narrow environments. This …

Improving Interactions with Healthcare Robots
… these behaviours within human-robot interaction (HRI) research. This was followed by four HRI studies. Study one examined the effect of robot smiling and first name use using a within-subjects design. Utilising a between-subjects design, study two investigated the effect of robot self-disclosure, …

Ensemble : fluency and embodiment for robots acting with humans
… notion of fluency in human-robot interaction (HRI), exploring cognitive mechanisms for robotic agents that would enable them to overcome the stop-and-go rigidity present in much of HRI to date. We define fluency as the ethereal yet manifest quality existent when two agents perform together at …
