The new industrial settings are characterized by the presence of human and robots that work
in close proximity, cooperating in performing the required job. Such a collaboration …

Bristol Elumotion Robot Torso Version 2 (BERT2) is a humanoid robot currently in
development at Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL). In this paper we present the current state …

In this paper, we propose a model of embodied communications focusing on entrained body
movements. Moreover, we implement a robot system that applies our proposed model. The …

Our research focuses on creating a robotic system that aids human-to-human
communication. The robot acts as a personal companion that understands the user's …

This paper presents a new framework for multimodal data processing in real-time. This
framework comprises modules for different input and output signals and was designed for …

Domestic service tasks require three main skills from autonomous robots: robust navigation
in indoor environments, flexible object manipulation, and intuitive communication with the …

Deploying robots at public places exposes highly complex systems to a variety of potential
interaction partners of all ages and with different technical backgrounds. Most of these …

Robotic telepresence aims to create a physical presence for a remotely located human
(teleoperator) by reproducing their verbal and nonverbal behaviours (eg speech, gestures …

This paper presents an architecture for fusion of multimodal input streams for natural
interaction with a humanoid robot as well as results from a user study with our system. The …

We present the development of and experiments with a robot system showing multimodal
interaction capabilities. We focus on the understanding of human instructions in natural …
