Within the next decades, robots will need to be able to execute a large variety of tasks
autonomously in a large variety of environments. To relax the resulting programming effort, a …

Abstract Human–Robot Interaction challenges Artificial Intelligence in many regards:
dynamic, partially unknown environments that were not originally designed for robots; a …

This article presents a state-of-the-art survey on the robotic systems, sensors, actuators, and
collaborative strategies for physical human-robot collaboration (pHRC). This article starts …

Measuring “how much the human is in the interaction”-the level of engagement-is
instrumental in building effective interactive robots. Engagement, however, is a complex …

Despite major progress in Robotics and AI, robots are still basically “zombies” repeatedly
achieving actions and tasks without understanding what they are doing. Deep-Learning AI …

This paper presents how extraction, representation and use of symbolic knowledge from real-
world perception and human-robot verbal and non-verbal interaction can actually enable a …

In daily human interactions, spatial reasoning occupies an important place. In this paper we
present a situation assessment reasoner that generates relevant symbolic information from …

In this paper, we present a novel grasp detection algorithm targeted towards assistive
robotic manipulation systems. We consider the problem of detecting robotic grasps using …

This study takes a novel approach to the topic of perspective taking in HRI. In a human
behavioral experiment, we examined whether and in what circumstances people …

This paper reports our research on developing a robot that distributes flyers to pedestrians.
The difficulty is that since the potential receivers are pedestrians who are not necessarily …
