This research examines human-robot acceptance during service encounters. Based on role
theory and the technology acceptance model (TAM), we argue that users draw on various …

This research compares human-robot interaction with human-human interaction. More
specifically, it compares potential customer responses to a humanoid service robot's (HSR's) …

The near future will see an increasing demand of elder care and a shortage of professional
and informal caregivers. In this context, ageing societies would benefit from the design of …

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a biologically supported learning paradigm, which allows an
agent to learn through experience acquired by interaction with its environment. Its potential …

In this paper, an online tracking system has been developed to control the arm and head of
a Nao robot using Kinect sensor. The main goal of this work is to achieve that the robot is …

The design of robots for everyday use should take into account the specific nature of the
individual end-user and the possibility of interactions with multiple users in diverse …

Person tracking is an important topic in ambient living systems as well as in computer vision.
In particular, detecting a person from a ceiling-mounted camera is a challenge since the …

Based on four empirical studies, Moritz Merkle examines the introduction of humanoid
robots to the frontline service encounter in a customer-centric approach focusing on …

Great attentions have been put on the programming technologies to construct robot software
in both academic research and industry due to the increasingly wide applications of robots …

In this paper, we propose Interactive Tutor Robot (ITR) to enhance collaborative e‐Learning
system for Science and Technology education field. We implemented the robot with powerful …
