Ubiquitous Realities through Situated Social Agents
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In order to take the developing field of Social Robotics a stage further, this work investigates mixed reality in embodied social agents. The Virtual Robotic Workbench is employed which provides a versatile framework for experimentation in interoperability and cooperation between heterogeneous robots (real, simulated and virtual) and humans in multi-reality domains. Explicit social interaction, both between virtual and real robots and between robots and people, is supported.

In the research project ISReal, our research group developed the first platform for deploying virtual worlds based on Semantic Web technology, which enables agents to reason about and plan with semantically annotated 3D objects.

متن کاملTowards Urban HCI
In this position statement we raise a number of questions about how HCI systems can incorporate design values which are already embedded in architectural space. Thinking about these might help to explain why Ubiquitous Computing often does not provide fitting HCI solution for the public urban environment. We aim to show that technology system developers need to approach their developments from ...
