The learning of adjectives and nouns from affordance and appearance features

We study how a robot can link concepts represented by adjectives and nouns in language with its own sensorimotor interactions. Specifically, an iCub humanoid robot interacts with a group of objects using a repertoire of manipulation behaviors. The objects ...

Given that, Should I Respond? Contextual Addressee Estimation in Multi-Party Human-Robot Interactions

Jean-Marc Odobez, Dinesh Babu Jayagopi

In this paper, we investigate the task of addressee estimation in multi-party interactions. For every utterance from a human participant, the robot should know if it was being addressed or not, so as to respond and behave accordingly. To accomplish this va ...

Assessing Interaction Dynamics in the Context of Robot Programming by Demonstration

Aude Billard, Brenna Dee Argall

In this paper we focus on human-robot interaction particularities that occur during programming by demonstration. Understanding what makes the interaction rewarding and keeps the user engaged helps optimize the robot's learning. Two user studies are presen ...

Towards Long-Term Collective Experiments

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Philippe Rétornaz, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Steven Adriaan Roelofsen, François Rey

It is often challenging to manage the battery supply when dealing with a fleet of mobile robots during long experiments. If one uses classical recharge stations, then agents are immobilized during the whole recharge process. In this study, we present a nov ...

How Children Tidy up Their Room with "Ranger" the Robotic Box

Pierre Dillenbourg, Francesco Mondada, Philippe Rétornaz, Julia Fink, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Alain Berthoud

"Ranger" is a robotic box designed to motivate young children to tidy up the toys in their rom. It explores the idea of integrating robotics into daily life objects, such as a wooden box. The box shows light and sound when toys are put inside or removed. W ...
