Toward a Framework for Human-Robot Interaction

Toward a Framework for Human-Robot Interaction

The goal of this article is to introduce the reader to the rich and vibrant field of robotics, in hopes of laying out an agenda for future research on human robot interaction. Robotics is a field in change; the meaning of the term “robot” today differs substantially from the term just a decade ago. The primary purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive description of past and present...

Toward a framework for levels of robot autonomy in human-robot interaction.

A critical construct related to human-robot interaction (HRI) is autonomy, which varies widely across robot platforms. Levels of robot autonomy (LORA), ranging from teleoperation to fully autonomous systems, influence the way in which humans and robots may interact with one another. Thus, there is a need to understand HRI by identifying variables that influence - and are influenced by - robot a...

A Framework for Reusable Robot Behaviors in Human-Robot Interaction

RoboChain: A Secure Data-Sharing Framework for Human-Robot Interaction

Robots have potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us. One of their largest potentials is in the domain of mobile health where they can be used to facilitate clinical interventions. However, to accomplish this, robots need to have access to our private data in order to learn from these data and improve their interaction capabilities. Furthermore, to enhance this le...

A Formal Framework for Studying Interaction in Human-Robot Societies

As robots evolve into an integral part of the human ecosystem, humans and robots will be involved in a multitude of collaborative tasks that require complex coordination and cooperation. Indeed there has been extensive work in the robotics, planning as well as the human-robot interaction communities to understand and facilitate such seamless teaming. However, it has been argued that their incre...
