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.
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 ...
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 ...
Using Sensory-Motor Phase-Plots to Characterise Robot-Environment Interactions
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Information theoretic methods are used to characterise and identify robot-environment interactions, with a view to using these to build an embodied interaction history from the robot's perspective. A bottom-up approach is ...
An Examination of the Static to Dynamic Imitation Spectrum
(2005)
We consider the issues that arise from an examination of the continuum between two social learning paradigms that are widely used in robotics research: (i) following or matched-dependent behaviour and (ii) static observational ...
