Human vs Robot Lie Detector: Better Working as a Team?

Generalized Benford’s Law as a Lie Detector

The first significant (leftmost nonzero) digit of seemingly random numbers often appears to conform to a logarithmic distribution, with more 1s than 2s, more 2s than 3s, and so forth, a phenomenon known as Benford's law. When humans try to produce random numbers, they often fail to conform to this distribution. This feature grounds the so-called Benford analysis, aiming at detecting fabricated ...

A Segway-based Human-Robot Soccer Team

A new RoboCup soccer league is being developed, focussing on human-robot interaction. In this league each team consists of both human players, mounted on Segway HT scooters, and a robotic version of the Segway; both human and robot players must cooperate to score goals. This paper presents details of the physical design of our autonomous Segway Soccer robot and the modified Segway scooter that ...

Mixed Human-Robot Team Surveillance

The emergence of mobile and fixed sensor networks operating at different modalities, mobility, and coverage has enabled access to an unprecedented amount of information. In a variety of complex and information rich systems, this information is processed by a human operator [1, 2]. The inherent inability of humans to handle the plethora of available information has detrimental effects on their p...
