Abstract

"The role of robots in society keeps expanding and diversifying, bringing with it a host of issues surrounding the relationship between robots and humans. This introduction to Human-Robot Interaction, written by leading researchers in this developing field, is the first to provide a broad overview of the multidisciplinary topics central to modern HRI research. Students and researchers from robotics, artificial intelligence, psychology, sociology, and design will find it a concise and accessible guide to the current state of the field. Written for students from diverse backgrounds, it presents relevant background concepts, describing how robots work, how to design them, and how to evaluate their performance. Self-contained chapters discuss a wide range of topics, including the different communication modalities such as speech and language, non-verbal communication and the processing of emotions, as well as ethical issues around the application of robots today and in the context of our future society"--

Abstract

Mensch oder Maschine? Utopie oder Dystopie? Ersatz oder Ergänzung? Als neuartiges Produkt der Sextech-Branche entfachen Sexroboter sowohl in der Gesellschaft als auch in Wissenschaft und Medien gegenwärtig ganz konträre Gedanken und Gefühle. Noch ist die Verbreitung von Sexrobotern vermutlich sehr gering - die Spekulationen hingegen laufen auf Hochtouren und die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema hat vielfältige Zukunftsszenarien und Standpunkte hervorgebracht. Matyjas verschafft Lesenden einen Einblick in eine neuartige, zukunftsorientierte Entwicklung der immer größer und gesellschaftsfähiger werdenden Sextech-Branche. Sie gibt einen Überblick über die wissenschaftliche wie medial-öffentliche Verhandlung von Sexrobotern und über Befunde bisheriger internationaler Forschung. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Ergebnisse einer Befragung mit über 4.000 Adult-Dating-Nutzer*innen zu diversen Aspekten von Sexrobotern. Anhand der umfassenden Befunde dieser empirischen Studie hinterfragt und erweitert die Autorin das gegenwärtig vorherrschende Bild von Sexrobotern, Robotersex und den zukünftigen Nutzer*innen.

Abstract

In recent years, researchers have achieved great success in guaranteeing safety in human-robot interaction, yielding a new generation of robots that can work with humans in close proximity, known as collaborative robots (cobots). However, due to the lack of ability to understand and coordinate with their human partners, the ``co'' in most cobots still refers to ``coexistence'' rather than ``collaboration''. This thesis aims to develop an adaptive learning and control framework with a novel physical and data-driven approach towards a real collaborative robot. The first part focuses on online human motion prediction. A comprehensive study on various motion prediction techniques is presented, including their scope of application, accuracy in different time scales, and implementation complexity. Based on this study, a hybrid approach that combines physically well-understood models with data-driven learning techniques is proposed and validated through a motion data set. The second part addresses interaction control in human-robot collaboration. An adaptive impedance control scheme with human reference estimation is presented. Reinforcement learning is used to find optimal control parameters to minimize a task-orient cost function without fully knowing the system dynamic. The proposed framework is experimentally validated through two benchmark applications for human-robot collaboration: object handover and cooperative object handling. Results show that the robot can provide reliable online human motion prediction, react early to human motion variation, make proactive contributions to physical collaborations, and behave compliantly in response to human forces.

Abstract

ROBOCOMM is the First International Conference on Robot Communication and Coordination. As the name suggests, it aims at the convergence of two fields, acting as a common forum for the Robotics and Communications research communities. The expected outcome of the event is the cross-fertilization of these two areas leading to growth in the capabilities of both. Robotics is an interdisciplinary field that requires a number of competencies including mechanics, control theory, electronics and communications. Initially the first three areas dominated in their roles. However, in the last two decades we have witnessed the unprecedented growth of wireless communication technologies, with increasing attention given to sensor networks and ad-hoc networks, enlarging the possible configurations of a network. Meanwhile, building more than just one or two robots at a time has become cheaper and more common, thus opening a whole new range of applications for multi-robot systems with networking capabilities. Network robotics offers a framework to study coordination mechanisms for complex systems through communication channels, thus providing a natural common ground for the convergence of information processing, communication theory and control theory. Networked robotics poses significant challenges, requiring the integration of communication theory, software engineering, distributed sensing and control into a common framework. Furthermore, robots are unique in that their motion and tasking control systems are co-located with the communications mechanisms. This allows the co-exploitation of individual subsystems to provide completely new kinds of networked or distributed autonomy. ROBOCOMM aims to be the leading-edge conference where prominent researchers with different backgrounds will gather and merge different ideas into a common framework that will enable new applications based on large scale networks of mobile robots. This first conference attracted some 90 submissions, of which 42 have been selected for full paper presentation and a further 24 for poster presentation. The selection relied on the efforts of four technical program chairs leading a strong technical program committee which reviewed all papers. The high standard of reviewing and the diverse set of submissions have created a program of excellent contributions that cover the broad scope of this new convergent research field. The program includes nine sessions focused on Mobility for Communications; Localization and Tracking; Decentralized Coordination; Control Architectures; Networked Sensing; Reconfigurable Networks; Decentralized Decision Making; Applications and Devices, and Tools and Simulators. We are delighted also to have keynote talks from Prof Raffaello D'Andrea, Professor of Automatic Control at ETH Zurich and Dr Gerard McKee, head of the Active Robotics Laboratory, Reading University, UK. These keynotes will both focus on networked robots, in automated order fulfillment (a 'killer application') and in space robotics, respectively.
