Abstract

To allow a robot to function in unstructured environments, a control architecture should be flexible and should facilitate the creation and representation of arbitrarily complex sequences of actions. Such an architecture should also facilitate simple and natural interaction between a robot and its human collaborators. Human language has both representational flexibility and naturalness to human operators; in this paper we show how the structures of natural language can serve as the basis of an effective robot control architecture.

A Safe-Control Paradigm for Human–Robot Interaction

This paper introduces a new approach to control a robot manipulator in a way that is safe for humans in the robot‘s workspace. Conceptually the robot is viewed as a tool with limited autonomy. The limited perception capabilities of automatic systems ...

Most human interactions with the environment depend on our ability to navigate freely and to use our hands and arms to manipulate objects. Developing natural means of controlling these abilities in humanoid robots can significantly broaden the usability ...

Abstract
This paper reports lexical entrainment in a multi-party human–robot interaction, wherein one robot and two humans serve as participants. Humans tend to use the same terms as their interlocutors while making conversation. This phenomenon is called ...
