An Institutional Robotics Approach to the Design of Socially Aware Multi-Robot Behaviors

Alcherio Martinoli

We propose an institutional robotics approachto the design of socially-aware multi-robot systems, wherecooperation among the robots and their social interactions withhumans are guided using institutions. Inspired by the conceptsstemming from economical sci ...

Design strategy for controlled natural aging in Al-Mg-Si alloys

William Curtin

This study presents a design strategy for Al-Mg-Si alloys to control natural aging. Recently, trace addition of Sn was shown to suppress natural aging for up to two weeks, which was explained by the strong trapping of vacancies to Sn atoms. Here we explore ...

The Cognitive Correlates of Anthropomorphism

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Julia Fink

While anthropomorphism in human-robot interaction is often discussed, it still appears to lack formal grounds. We recently proposed a first model of the dynamics of anthropomorphism that reflects the evolution of anthropomorphism in the human-robot interac ...

Automatic Role Recognition in Multiparty Conversations: an Approach Based on Turn Organization, Prosody and Conditional Random Fields

Alessandro Vinciarelli

Roles are a key aspect of social interactions, as they contribute to the overall predictability of social behavior (a necessary requirement to deal effectively with the people around us), and they result in stable, possibly machine-detectable behavioral pa ...

The Vernissage Corpus: A Multimodal Human-Robot-Interaction Dataset

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Jean-Marc Odobez, Dinesh Babu Jayagopi, Laurent Son Nguyen, Samira Sheikhi

We introduce a new multimodal interaction dataset with extensive annotations in a conversational Human-Robot-Interaction (HRI) scenario. It has been recorded and annotated to benchmark many relevant perceptual tasks, towards enabling a robot to converse wi ...

Recognizing the Visual Focus of Attention for Human Robot Interaction

Jean-Marc Odobez, Samira Sheikhi

We address the recognition of people’s visual focus of attention (VFOA), the discrete version of gaze that indicates who is looking at whom or what. As a good indicator of addressee-hood (who speaks to whom, and in particular is a person speaking to the ro ...

The Ethical Landscape of Robotics

Aude Billard, Pawel Lichocki

This paper surveys some of the main ethical issues pertaining to robotics that have been discussed in the literature. We start with the idea of responsibility ascription that arises when an autonomous system malfunctions or harms people. Next, we discuss v ...

Integration of vision and central pattern generator based locomotion for path planning of a non-holonomic crawling humanoid robot

Auke Ijspeert, Sarah Dégallier Rochat, Sébastien Gay, José Santos-Victor

In this paper we present our work on integrating a locomotion controller based on central pattern generator (CPG) and a motion planning algorithm using artificial potential fields for a non-holonomic crawling humanoid robot, the iCub. We also integrated a ...

Heuristics for Distributed Pseudo-tree Regeneration

Jonas Helfer

The goal of this project is to develop a new heuristic for pseudo-tree regeneration in S-DPOP. S-DPOP is a version of DPOP which should show performance improvements when resolving problems after small changes. Examples of such problems are: tracking movin ...
