A local user mapping architecture for social robots

Software Architecture for Social Robots

People are striving for easy, natural interfaces. Robotic user interfaces aim at providing this kind of interface by using human like interaction modalities. However, many applications fail, not because of fundamental problems of addressing social interaction but due to an unbalanced design. In this paper we derive a balancing framework for designing robotic user interfaces that balances four k...

Emotion-based Architecture for Social Interactive Robots

End-user programming architecture facilitates the uptake of robots in social therapies

This paper proposes an architecture thatmakes programming of robot behavior of an arbitrary complexity possible for end-users and shows the technical solutions in away that is easy to understand and generalize to different situations. It aims to facilitate the uptake and actual use of robot technologies in therapies for training social skills to autistic children. However, the framework is easy...

Similarity measurement for describe user images in social media

Online social networks like Instagram are places for communication. Also, these media produce rich metadata which are useful for further analysis in many fields including health and cognitive science. Many researchers are using these metadata like hashtags, images, etc. to detect patterns of user activities. However, there are several serious ambiguities like how much reliable are these informa...

A Cellular Control Architecture for Autonomous Robots

This paper presents a cellular control architecture for autonomous robots. This architecture, which is an instanciation of the behaviour-based paradigm, i) defines the cell as the elementary unit of storage and processing and categorises cells into functionally different types, ii) imposes a three-level nested structure (cells, aggregates of cells, tasks), iii) decouples structured activity fro...
