Special Focus on Human-Robot Hybrid Intelligence

Special issue on Hybrid Intelligence using rough sets

The problem of imperfect knowledge under uncertain environments has been tackled for a long time by philosophers, logicians and mathematicians. Rough set theory proposed by Zdzislaw Pawlak [1] has attracted attention of many researchers and practitioners all over the world, and has a fast growing group of researchers interested in this methodology. Fuzzy set theory proposed by Lotfi Zadeh [2] h...

Integrated Intelligence for Human-Robot Teams

With recent advances in robotics technologies and autonomous systems, the idea of human-robot teams is gaining everincreasing attention. In this context, our research focuses on developing an intelligent robot that can autonomously perform non-trivial, but specific tasks conveyed through natural language. Toward this goal, a consortium of researchers develop and integrate various types of intel...

Introduction to the Special Issue on Human-Robot Interaction

Special Track on Robotics and Human-Robot Interaction

Robotics is a multidisciplinary area of study that spans computer science, physics, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Robotics covers the study, design, manufacture, and use of robots in various applications. There are many subareas of robotics where computers interface with physical environments that have proven to be major sources of inspiration and provide crucial new insig...

Introduction to This Special Issue on Human-Robot Interaction

Human–computer interaction (HCI), as a field, has made great strides toward understanding and improving our interactions with computer-based technologies. From the early explorations of direct interaction with computers, we have reached the point where usability, usefulness, and an appreciation of technology’s social impact, including its risks, are widely accepted goals in computing. HCI resea...
