Even though robots' physical embodiment makes it likely humans will come into physical contact with robots, the effects of touch on attitudes in human-robot interaction are still relatively unknown. This survey and video-based, experiment (N=199) investigates the effects of touch and robots interactions. Results show that physical contact and autonomous behavior interact in their effects on per...

Today, physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is a very popular topic in the field of ground manipulation. At same time, aerial also developing fast. Nevertheless, pHRI with vehicles has not been addressed so far. In this work, we present study one first systems which human physically connected to an vehicle by cable. We want robot be able pull toward desired position (or along path) only usin...

In this paper, we describe BuildBot, a robot developed to assist with continuous integration of a software build in Agile development teams. BuildBot can interact physically with individual members of the team and be an active part of the development process by bringing together human-robot interaction with human group dynamics and knowledge about software engineering concepts. This paper descr...

It is much useful of the unstructured environment which the objects in it are unfamiliar to use human-robot interaction in remote teleoperation of robot manipulator. Traditionally, contacting mechanical devices under the interactive method can restrict the operator’s motion. While camera-based tracking has the benefit of being non-contacting, previous vision-based approaches have used only few ...

Bilateral Teleoperation is a key technology to allow humans to interact with remote environments by providing the operator with haptic feedback. Haptic feedback from the one hand improves human perception and therefore the quality of the human-robot interaction, on the other hand it can tamper with the stability of the system when the communication between the master side (where the operator is...

Humans out-perform contemporary robots despite vastly slower ‘wetware’ (e.g. neurons) and ‘hardware’ (e.g. muscles). The basis of human sensorymotor performance appears to be quite different from that of robots. Human haptic perception is not compatible with Riemannian geometry, the foundation of classical mechanics and robot control. Instead, evidence suggests that human control is based on dy...

In this short paper, some contributions for research in Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) are outlined. Possible answers are reported to the questions suggested for the NEWHRI workshop, summarized in the reported keywords. A more comprehensive discussion on contributions which fit in the proposed research framework for the workshop can be found in the listed bibliographical references. The next gen...
