Multimodal Human-Machine Interaction for Service Robots in Home-Care Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This contribution focuses on multimodal interaction techniques for a mobile communication and assistance system on a robot platform. The system comprises of acoustic, visual and haptic input modalities. Feedback is given to the user by a graphical user interface and a speech synthesis system. By this, multimodal and natural communication with the robot system is possible.

متن کاملIntuitive Multimodal Interaction for Domestic Service Robots
Domestic service tasks require three main skills from autonomous robots: robust navigation in indoor environments, flexible object manipulation, and intuitive communication with the users. In this paper, we present the communication skills of our anthropomorphic service and communication robots Dynamaid and Robotinho. Both robots are equipped with an intuitive multimodal communication system, i...

متن کاملDialogue with Robots to Support Symbiotic Autonomy
Robots are expected to support human activities in everyday environments, interacting with different kinds of users. In particular, domestic robots (i.e. domestic robots operating in our homes) have already entered the market, for example as cleaning robots or telepresence robots for elderly care. In these contexts, the interaction with the user plays a key role. Given the recent advancements i...
متن کاملTowards Formal Multimodal Analysis of Emotions for Affective Computing
Social robotics is related to the robotic systems and human interaction. Social robots have applications in elderly care, health care, home care, customer service and reception in industrial settings. Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) requires better understanding of human emotion. There are few multimodal fusion systems that integrate limited amount of facial expression, speech and gesture analysi...
