Robot Agreeableness and User Engagement in Verbal Human-Robot Interaction

It is a well-established fact in the field of Human-Robot Interaction that the personality a social robot is endowed with (i.e., the one it expresses by its gestures and words) plays a key role towards the engagement experienced by any person interacting w ...

CoWriting Kazakh: Learning a New Script with a Robot

Pierre Dillenbourg, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal

In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the transition from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet raises challenges to training an entire population in writing the new script. This paper presents a CoWriting Kazakh system, an extension of the existing CoWriter system, aiming ...

Measurement Scheduling for Cooperative Localization in Resource-Constrained Conditions

Qi Yan, Li Jiang

This letter studies the measurement scheduling problem for a group of

N

mobile robots moving on a flat surface that are preforming cooperative localization (CL). We consider a scenario in which due to the limited on-board resources such as battery life a ...

Strategies to modulate zebrafish collective dynamics with a closed-loop biomimetic robotic system

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

The objective of this study is to integrate biomimetic robots into small groups of zebrafish and to modulate their collective behaviours. A possible approach is to have the robots behave like sheepdogs. In this case, the robots would behave like a differen ...

The Role of the Control Framework for Continuous Teleoperation of a Brain-Machine Interface-Driven Mobile Robot

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Luca Tonin, Felix Christian Bauer

Despite the growing interest in brain-machine interface (BMI)-driven neuroprostheses, the translation of the BMI output into a suitable control signal for the robotic device is often neglected. In this article, we propose a novel control approach based on ...

Wearable and Self-Aware Machine Learning System for Online Cognitive Workload Monitoring and Drone Control

Fabio Isidoro Tiberio Dell'Agnola

The use of robots in search and rescue is gaining particular interest, but singular skills are required to ensure efficient deployments in real missions. To face this problem, there is a need to develop more intuitive control interfaces. Moreover, to ensur ...

A Comparison of Social Robot to Tablet and Teacher in a New Script Learning Context

Pierre Dillenbourg, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal

This research occurred in a special context where Kazakhstan's recent decision to switch from Cyrillic to the Latin-based alphabet has resulted in challenges connected to teaching literacy, addressing a rare combination of research hypotheses and technical ...

Design of Dynamic Tangible Workspaces for Games: Application on Robot-Assisted Upper Limb Rehabilitation

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Ayberk Özgür, Arzu Güneysu Özgür

A key element for the success of any game is its ability to produce a different experience at each round, thus keeping the player engagement high. This is particularly important for those games that also have a serious objective, such as gamified rehabilit ...

Mutual Understanding in Educational Human-Robot Collaborations

Alexis David Jacq

Education is an art close to theater. A teacher is taking a role; he works his speeches and his gestures and he plays with the attention of his audience. But it is harder: more than entertaining, a teacher must shape the skills, the knowledge and the motiv ...

A field-tested robotic harvesting system for iceberg lettuce

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

Agriculture provides an unique opportunity for the development of robotic systems; robots must be developed which can operate in harsh conditions and in highly uncertain and unknown environments. One particular challenge is performing manipulation for auto ...
