Models of Intention for Human-Robot Interaction
As demand for robots grows in non-industrial settings, there is a corresponding need to develop systems that engage with humans on a social level. A key component of this social interaction is the process of inferring humans' intentions from their observed behavior. In this dissertation, we define …

Intuitive Human-Robot Interaction by Intention Recognition
For two humans to interact with each other to perform a common task, they need to know the expectation of each other during interaction. For example if we consider an example of a waiter and a guest. If the waiter tilts the bottle to offer a drink to the guest then he may expect two actions from …

Reinforcement Learning for Multi-modal Human-Robot Interaction
… natural and effective collaboration between humans and assistive robots in domestic settings. To support users in activities of daily living (ADLs), assistive robots must understand multimodal inputs, engage in dynamic interaction, and adapt to vague or evolving instructions. We approach this …

Towards Improving Human-Robot Interaction For Social Robots
Autonomous robots interacting with humans in a social setting must consider the social-cultural environment when pursuing their objectives. Thus the social robot must perceive and understand the social cultural environment in order to be able to explain and predict the actions of its human …

Gesture recognition with application to human-robot interaction
… research has been focused on achieving natural human-machine interaction using gestures. This dissertation presents the design of a gestural interface that can be used to control a robot. The system consists of two modes: far-mode and near-mode. In far-mode interaction, upper-body gestures are …

Inferring the Human's Objective in Human Robot Interaction
… use of Bayesian Inference in inferring over the human's objective for Human-Robot Interaction, more specifically, it focuses upon the adaptation of methods to better utilize the information for inferring upon the human's objective for Reward Learning and Communicative Shared Autonomy settings. To …

Fast upper body pose estimation for human-robot interaction
… from a monocular camera, with applications in human-robot interaction in mind. A novel mixture of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes model, trained in a reduced dimensional subspace and designed for analytical tractability, is introduced. This model acts as a collection of mean-reverting random walks …

Face off: Linguistic perspectives on politeness in human–robot interaction
… elements from the fields of linguistics and human–robot interaction to gain multifaceted insights into the subject of politeness in human–robot and human–human interaction. Four different studies considered different perspectives on politeness in human–robot interaction: influences on …

Design and Implementation of a Modular Human-Robot Interaction Framework
… been proposed to alleviate the burden on in-home human caregivers. Socially assistive robotics (SAR) is a new subfield of research derived from human-robot interaction that aims to provide hands-off interventions for patients with an emphasis on social rather than physical interaction. As these …

Human-robot interaction for telemanipulation by small unmanned aerial systems
This dissertation investigated the human-robot interaction (HRI) for the Mission Specialist role in a telemanipulating unmanned aerial system (UAS). The emergence of commercial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms transformed the civil and environmental engineering industries through …

The benefits of other-oriented robot deception in human-robot interaction
Deception is an essential social behavior for humans, and we can observe human deceptive behaviors in a variety of contexts including sports, culture, education, war, and everyday life. Deception is also used for the purpose of survival in animals and even in plants. From these findings, it is …

Facial Communicative Signals: valence recognition in task-oriented human-robot Interaction
… in terms of valence recognition in task-oriented human-robot interaction. Facial communicative signals mainly comprise head gestures, eye gaze, and facial expressions. We review important psychological findings about the human display and perception of FCSs. Based on this discussion, several …

Development of an Interactive Robot for Overground Physical Human-Robot Interaction
<p>"The overground interactive robots are potentially beneficial for humans in various areas, such as overground rehabilitation therapies and robotic interactive assistance. However, it is unclear what the expectations and challenges are for a robot to be physically interactive with a human during …

Towards Natural And Robust Human-Robot Interaction Using Sketch And Speech
… machines that could someday co-exist with humans as autonomous agents, working for, with, and sometimes ˇ even against us. Since Karel Capek's play, R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) was written in 1920 [1], robots have permeated science fiction books, movies and television, giving rise to …

Robust human motion prediction for safe and efficient human-robot interaction
From robotic co-workers in factories to assistive robots in homes, human-robot interaction (HRI) has the potential to revolutionize a large array of domains by enabling robotic assistance where it was previously not possible. Introducing robots into human-occupied domains, however, requires strong …
