Recent rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning have raised many
questions about the regulatory and governance mechanisms for autonomous machines …

Support vector machines (SVMs) have become a popular tool for machine learning with
large amounts of high dimensional data. In this paper an approach for incremental learning …

During outbreaks of contagious diseases, healthcare workers are at high risk for infection
due to routine interaction with patients, handling of contaminated materials, and challenges …

Human-robot interaction is becoming an increasingly important research area. In this paper,
we present a theoretical characterization of interaction efficiency with an aim towards …

In this chapter, I review research involving remote human supervision of multiple unmanned
vehicles (UVs) using command complexity as an organizing construct. Multi-UV tasks range …

In this article, we describe the development of a human-robot interaction concept for service
robots to assist elderly people in the home with physical tasks. Our approach is based on the …

In human-computer collaboration involving haptics, a key issue that remains to be solved is
to establish an intuitive communication between the partners. Even though computers are …

Completely autonomous performance of a mobile robot within noncontrolled and dynamic
environments is not possible yet due to different reasons including environment uncertainty …

This paper describes the Flexible Navigation system that extends the ROS Navigation stack
and compatible libraries to separate computation from decision making, and integrates the …

Our research aims to design and develop a safety strategy for a human–robot collaboration
