We introduce a new multimodal interaction dataset with extensive annotations in a
conversational Human-Robot-Interaction (HRI) scenario. It has been recorded and …

Abstract The Action Verb Corpus comprises multimodal data of 12 humans conducting in
total 390 simple actions (TAKE, PUT, and PUSH). Recorded are audio, video and motion …

An issue widely discussed in robotics research is the ageing society with its consequences
for care-giving institutions and opportunities for developments in the area of service robots …

Following natural language instructions requires transforming language into situated
conditional procedures; robustly following instructions, despite the director's natural …

Natural language user interfaces for robots with cognitive capabilities should be designed to
reduce the occurrence of miscommunication in order to be perceived as providing a smooth …

Service robots are mobile, embodied artefacts that operate in co presence with their users.
This is a challenge for human-robot interaction (HRI) design. The robot's interfaces must …

This paper analyses the timing of gesture and speech acts in a corpus (MIBL) of free-flowing
human-to-human instruction dialogues. From there, an algorithm is proposed to establish …

This thesis explores the design and evaluation of human-robot communication for service
robots that use natural language to interact with people. The research is centred around …

Situated dialogic corpora are invaluable resources for understanding the complex
relationship between language, perception, and action as they are based on naturalistic …

Fi simulation methods, or Wizard-of-Oz [25], can be employed in a user-centered approach
to develop natural language user interfaces for robots with cognitive capabilities. By actively …
