Extending the temporal horizon of autonomous robots
(Springer Nature, 2006)
We introduce mathematically rigorous metrics on agent experiences having various temporal horizons. Sensorimotor variables accessible to the agent are--treated as information-theoretic sources modelled as random variables. ...
Naturally Occurring Gestures in a Human-Robot Teaching Scenario
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
This paper describes our general framework for the investigation of how human gestures can be used to facilitate the interaction and communication between humans and robots.
The Role of the Experimenter in HRI Research A Case Study Evaluation of Children with Autism Interacting with a Robotic Toy
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
Perception of Robot Smiles and Dimensions for Human-Robot Interaction Design
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
Using Self-Imitation to Direct Learning
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
An evolutionary predecessor to observational imitation may have been self-imitation. Self-imitation is where an agent is able to learn and replicate actions it has experienced through the manipulation of its body by another. ...
Distribution and Recognition of Gestures in Human-Robot Interaction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
This paper presents an approach for human activity recognition focusing on gestures in a teaching scenario, together with the setup and results of user studies on human gestures exhibited in unconstrained human-robot ...
Exploratory studies on social spaces between humans and a mechanical-looking robot
(2006)
The results from two empirical studies of human–robot interaction are presented. The first study involved the subject approaching the static robot and the robot approaching the standing subject. In these trials a small ...
Evaluation of Robot Imitation Attempts: Comparison of the System’s and the Human’s Perspectives
(ACM Press, 2006)
Imitation is a powerful learning tool when humans and robots bots interact in a social context. A series of experimental runs and a small pilot user study were conducted to evaluate the performance of a system designed for ...
