Mobile service robots are going to play an increasing role in the society of humans. Voice-enabled interaction with service robots becomes very important, if such robots are to be deployed in real-world environments and accepted by the vast majority of pot ...
This paper presents a method by which a robot can learn through observation to perform a collaborative manipulation task, namely lifting an object. The task is first demonstrated by a user controlling the robot's hand via a haptic interface. Learning extra ...

Computers have become affordable, small, omnipresent and are often connected to the Internet. However, despite the availability of such rich environment, user interfaces have not been adapted to fully leverage its potential. To help with complex tasks, a n ...
We address user system interaction issues in product search and recommender systems: how to help users select the most preferential item from a large collection of alternatives. As such systems must crucially rely on an accurate and complete model of user ...
The main task of a service robot with a voice-enabled communication interface is to engage a user in dialogue providing an access to the services it is designed for. In managing such interaction, inferring the user goal (intention) from the request for a s ...
Nowadays more and more people are looking for products online, and a massive amount of products are being sold through e-commerce systems. It is crucial to develop effective online product search tools to assist users to find their desired products and to ...
This paper describes a framework of methods for the measurement and evaluation of users' performance in interaction with a web-GIS. The framework involves testing of a system with real-world users, streaming of the user's screen during the evaluation and t ...
