Non-verbal Communication between Humans and Robots: Imitation, Mutual Understanding and Inferring Object Properties

Humans can express their actions and intentions, resorting to verbal and/or non-verbal communication. In verbal communication, humans use language to express, in structured linguistic terms, the desired action they wish to perform. Non-verbal communication ...

On Artificial Intelligence and Manipulation

Marcello Ienca

The increasing diffusion of novel digital and online sociotechnical systems for arational behavioral influence based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as social media, microtargeting advertising, and personalized search algorithms, has brought about ne ...

The Gaze Dialogue Model: Nonverbal Communication in HHI and HRI

Aude Billard, Nuno Ricardo Ferreira Duarte, José Santos-Victor

When humans interact with each other, eye gaze movements have to support motor control as well as communication. On the one hand, we need to fixate the task goal to retrieve visual information required for safe and precise action-execution. On the other ha ...

Pedestrian Intention Prediction: A Convolutional Bottom-Up Multi-Task Approach

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan

The ability to predict pedestrian behaviour is crucial for road safety, traffic management systems, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and more broadly autonomous vehicles. We present a vision-based system that simultaneously locates where pedestri ...

Mechanisms of Plasma-Seed Treatments as a Potential Seed Processing Technology

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Alexandra Waskow

Plasma treatments are currently being assessed as a seed processing technology for agricultural purposes where seeds are typically subjected to pre-sowing treatments to improve the likelihood of timely and uniform germination. The aim of this review is to ...

Pedestrian Intention Prediction: A Multi-task Perspective

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Saeed Saadatnejad

In order to be globally deployed, autonomous cars must guarantee the safety of pedestrians. This is the reason why forecasting pedestrians' intentions sufficiently in advance is one of the most critical and challenging tasks for autonomous vehicles. This w ...

Decoding of grasping tasks from intraneural recordings in trans-radial amputee

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle

Objective. A major challenge in neuroprosthetics is the restoration of sensory-motor hand functions in upper-limb amputees. Neuroprostheses based on the direct re-connection of the peripheral nerves may be an interesting approach for re-establishing the na ...

Amplified engagement of prefrontal cortex during control of voluntary action in Tourette syndrome

Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka

Tourette syndrome is characterized by 'unvoluntary' tics, which are compulsive, yet often temporarily suppressible. The inferior frontal gyms is implicated in motor control, including inhibition of pre-potent actions through influences on downstream subcor ...

From human-intention recognition to compliant control using dynamical systems in physical human-robot interaction

Mahdi Khoramshahi

Human ability to coordinate one's actions with other individuals to perform a task together is fascinating. For example, we coordinate our action with others when we carry a heavy object or when we construct a piece of furniture. Capabilities such as (1) f ...

Investigating prospective memory via eye tracking: No evidence for a monitoring deficit in older adults

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs

Prospective memory (PM) refers to remembering to perform intended actions in the future. Older adults in particular have been shown to be negatively affected by PM tasks that require a high amount of attentional resources (i.e., nonfocal tasks). This age-r ...
