A holistic understanding of older adults' acceptance of domestic robots
… their everyday living tasks to become barriers. Domestic robots can be developed, integrated, and used by older adults to address these barriers. Before these technologies can be successfully integrated, users must be willing to accept and adopt domestic robots. Currently, the research in this …

User Perceptions of Privacy and Comfort in Domestic Service Robots
… levels, when interacting with camera-equipped domestic robots. We utilize a privacy-enhancing feature: a translucent camera cover that blurs the robot’s vision while preserving a limited degree of functionality for computer vision algorithms. Our findings indicate that participants perceived …

Robust and efficient robotic mapping
Mobile robots are dependent upon a model of the environment for many of their basic functions. Locally accurate maps are critical to collision avoidance, while large-scale maps (accurate both metrically and topologically) are necessary for efficient route planning. Solutions to these problems have …

Efficient Robotic Manipulation with Scene Knowledge
In recent years, robots have transformed manufacturing, logistics, and transportation. However, extending the success to unstructured real-world environments (e.g., domestic kitchens, warehouses, grocery stores, etc.) remains difficult due to three key challenges: (1) assumption of structured …

Manifold Optimization for Robotic Perception
… such as self-driving cars, drone technology, domestic robots, virtual and augmented reality. An essential task in robotic perception is state estimation. Generally, the task is concerned with inferring the state, such as the pose of an entity from observations in the form of inertial and/or …
