Transfer Learning of Visual Concepts across Robots: a Discriminative Approach

Barbara Caputo, Tatiana Tommasi

While there is a general consensus that autonomous robots should be able to learn continuously over time, the learning process is traditionally envisioned for each specific robot situated in a given environment. This does not consider the fact that robots ...

Brain-coupled Interaction for Semi-autonomous Navigation of an Assistive Robot

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Roland Siegwart, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Xavier Perrin

This paper presents a novel semi-autonomous navigation strategy designed for low throughput interfaces. A mobile robot (e.g. intelligent wheelchair) proposes the most probable action, as analyzed from the environment, to a human user who can either accept ...

Evolving CPPNs to grow three-dimensional physical structures

Joshua Evan Auerbach

The majority of work in the field of evolutionary robotics concerns itself with evolving control strategies for human designed or bio-mimicked robot morphologies. However, there are reasons why co-evolving morphology along with control may provide a better ...

Survey: Robot Programming by Demonstration

Aude Billard, Sylvain Calinon

Robot PbD started about 30 years ago, growing importantly during the past decade. The rationale for moving from purely preprogrammed robots to very flexible user-based interfaces for training the robot to perform a task is three-fold. First and foremost, P ...

Gaming controllers for research robots: controlling a humanoid robot using a WIIMOTE

Pierre-André Mudry

In this article we describe the use of a standard game console joystick, namely the Nintendo Wiimote, for controlling a HOAP-2 humanoid robot. We give a short overview on the use of tangible user interfaces, followed by the description of the used game con ...

A Comparative Psychophysical and EEG Study of Different Feedback Modalities for HRI

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Roland Siegwart, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Xavier Perrin

This paper presents a comparison between six different ways to convey navigational information provided by a robot to a human. Visual, auditory, and tactile feedback modalities were selected and designed to suggest a direction of travel to a human user, wh ...
