Despite the relatively young age of Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) as a field, there is a
large volume of research on advances in robot hardware, software and behavior. The goal …

For human–robot interaction (HRI), perception is one of the most important capabilities. This
paper reviews several widely used perception methods of HRI in social robots. Specifically …

We present a systematic survey of computational research in humanrobot interaction (HRI)
over the past decade. Computational HRI is the subset of the field that is specifically …

We introduce a new specification of the social force model in which pedestrians explicitly
predict the place and time of the next collision in order to avoid it. This and other …

In this study, we present a framework that infers human activities from observations using
semantic representations. The proposed framework can be utilized to address the difficult …

Recent studies in human-robot interaction (HRI) have investigated ways to harness the
power of the crowd for the purpose of creating robot interaction logic through games and …

Ambient intelligence, ubiquitous and networked robots, and cloud robotics are new research
hot topics that have started to gain popularity among the robotics community. They enable …

Mobile robots that encounter people on a regular basis must react to them in some way.
While traditional robot control algorithms treat all unexpected sensor readings as objects to …

What kind of framework is needed to realize social robot applications in real public
environments? Based on several years of experience in conducting field studies with social …

This paper describes the user-centered design and evaluation process of a humanoid
mobile shop** robot named TOOMAS that assists customers of home improvement stores …
