REFERRING EXPRESSION GENERATION TOWARDS MEDIATING SHARED PERCEPTUAL BASIS IN SITUATED DIALOGUE By Rui Fang Situated human-robot dialogue has received increasing attention in recent years. In situated dialogue, robots/artificial agents and their human partners are co-present in a shared physical world. Robots need to automatically perceive and make inference of the shared environment. Due to its...

BACKGROUND The increasing number of opportunities for human-robot interactions in various settings, from industry through home use to rehabilitation, creates a need to understand how to best personalize human-robot interactions to fit both the user and the task at hand. In the current experiment, we explored a human-robot collaborative task of joint movement, in the context of an interactive ga...

This paper presents the use of a hybrid collaborative stereo vision system (3D-distributed visual sensing using different kind of vision cameras) for the autonomous navigation of a wheeled robot team. It is proposed a triangulation-based method for the 3D-posture computation of an unknown object by considering the collaborative hybrid stereo vision system, and this way to steer the robots team ...
