PROT - An embodied agent for intelligible and user-friendly human-robot interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system has been developed that can project an embodied agent’s image and sound anywhere in a room. It can thus overcome the problems inherent to other embodied agents in dealing with 2D on-screen information and 3D physical information simultaneously. An experiment demonstrated that this ‘PROT’ agent can effectively present both on-screen information and real-world physical information. Because the PROT agent combines the advantages of a robot agent with those of an on-screen agent, it should improve human-robot interaction.

How are interaction between human and an autonomous agent affected by embodiments and voice?: Investigation with age groups comparison
Although many information system are employing autonomous agents for the purpose of user-friendly interface, cognitive mechanisms of their effects are not clear yet. In this study, we compared three types of UI, an embodied agent system equipped with a direct anthropomorphization robot, an only voice agent, and without agent system condition, of a microwave oven. Thirty-six older (65 years or a...
متن کاملPredicting when to laugh with structured classification
Today, Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) are emerging as natural media to interact with machines. Applications are numerous and ECAs can reduce the technological gap between people by providing user-friendly interfaces. Yet, ECAs are still unable to produce social signals appropriately during their interaction with humans, which tends to make the interaction less instinctive. Especially, ve...

The present contribution investigates the construction of dialogue structure for the use in human-machine interaction especially for robotic systems and embodied conversational agents. We are going to present a methodology and findings of a pilot study for the design of task-specific dialogues. Specifically, we investigated effects of dialogue complexity on two levels: First, we examined the pe...
متن کاملE-puck - A Robotic Platform for Studying the Evolution of Communication
In order to study animal-like communication in embodied agents, a versatile physical platform is needed for agents to interact with their environment, and communicate with other agents. Toward this aim, we present the e-puck robot epu (2008), a simple, robust and user-friendly open-hardware robotic platform. Compared to similar robots, the e-puck is small in size and is equipped only with basic...

Blinking and eye movement are one of the most important abilities that most people have, even people with spinal cord problem. By using this ability these people could handle some of their activities such as moving their wheelchair without the help of others. One of the most important fields in Human-Robot Interaction is the development of artificial limbs working with brain signals. The purpos...
