HRI in the home: A Longitudinal Ethnographic Study with Roomba

Pierre Dillenbourg, Frédéric Kaplan, Julia Fink

Personal service robots, such as the iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner provide a promising opportunity to study human-robot interaction (HRI) in domestic environments. Still rather little is known about long-term impacts of robotic home appliances on people’s d ...

Tactile Guidance for Policy Refinement and Reuse

Aude Billard, Eric Sauser, Brenna Dee Argall

Demonstration learning is a powerful and practical technique to develop robot behaviors. Even so, development remains a challenge and possible demonstration limitations can degrade policy performance. This work presents an approach for policy improvement a ...

Tactile Guidance for Policy Adaptation

Aude Billard, Eric Sauser, Brenna Dee Argall

Demonstration learning is a powerful and practical technique to develop robot behaviors. Even so, development remains a challenge and possible demonstration limitations, for example correspondence issues between the robot and demonstrator, can degrade poli ...

A Survey of Tactile Human-Robot Interactions

Aude Billard, Brenna Dee Argall

Robots come into physical contact with humans in both experimental and operational settings. Many potential factors motivate the detection of human contact, ranging from safe robot operation around humans, to robot behaviors that depend on human guidance. ...

How can human motion prediction increase transparency?

Jamie Paik

A major issue in the field of human-robot interaction for assistance to manipulation is transparency. This basic feature qualifies the capacity for a robot to follow human movements without any human-perceptible resistive forces. In this paper we address t ...

Synthesis, modeling, and experimental validation of distributed robotic search

James Pugh

The work of this thesis centers around the research subject of distributed robotic search. Within the field of distributed robotic systems, a task of particular interest is attempting to locate one or more targets in a possibly unknown environment. While n ...

Evolving Vision-based Flying Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

We describe a new experimental approach whereby an indoor flying robot evolves the ability to navigate in a textured room using only visual information and neuromorphic control. The architecture of a spiking neural circuit, which is connected to the vision ...
