2. 1. Designing and Evaluating Human-Robot Communication : Informing Design through Analysis of User Interaction

   Author : Anders Green; Kerstin Severinson Eklundh; Henrik Christensen; Candice Sidner; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human-Robot Interaction; Human-Robot Communication; Natural language user interfaces; Interaction Design; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis explores the design and evaluation of human-robot communication for service robots that use natural language to interact with people.  The research is centred around three themes: design of human-robot communication; evaluation of miscommunication in human-robot communication; and the analysis of spatial influence as empiric phenomenon and design element.

4. 2. Multimodal Human-Robot Collaboration in Assembly

   Author : Sichao Liu; Lihui Wang; Gunnar Bolmsjö; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robotics; Assembly; Human-robot collaboration; Multimodal control; Function block; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

   Abstract : Human-robot collaboration (HRC) envisioned for factories of the future would require close physical collaboration between humans and robots in safe and shared working environments with enhanced efficiency and flexibility. The PhD study aims for multimodal human-robot collaboration in assembly. READ MORE

5. 3. Human-Robot Interaction and Mapping with a Service Robot : Human Augmented Mapping

   Author : Elin Anna Topp; Henrik I. Christensen; Benjamin J. Kuipers; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Robotics; Human-Robot Interaction; Cognitive modelling; Representation of space; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : An issue widely discussed in robotics research is the ageing society with its consequences for care-giving institutions and opportunities for developments in the area of service robots and robot companions. The general idea of using robotic systems in a personal or private context to support an independent way of living not only for the elderly but also for the physically impaired is pursued in different ways, ranging from socially oriented robotic pets to mobile assistants.

6. 4. Semantic description and communication of going around in a simulated world

   Author : Nazeer T. Mohammed Saeed; Klaus-Dieter Kuhnert; Madjid Fathi; Germany Siegen Naturwissenschaftlichen-Technischen Fakultät der Universität Siegen Institut für Echtzeit Lernsysteme (EZLS); []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robotics; Semantic Web; Human-robot communication; Robot-robot communication; Semantic environment description;

   Abstract : In recent years, mobile robots have helped to link predictions, imaginations, and expectations to human life. The tsunami of research on mobile robots mirrors their importance in various fields, such as production, agriculture and medicine. READ MORE

7. 5. Modelling Engagement in Multi-Party Conversations : Data-Driven Approaches to Understanding Human-Human Communication Patterns for Use in Human-Robot Interactions

   Author : Catharine Oertel; Joakim Gustafsson; Jens Edlund; Daniel Gatica-Perez; KTH; []
   Keywords : Människa-datorinteraktion; Human-computer Interaction;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to study human-human interaction in order to provide virtual agents and robots with the capability to engage into multi-party-conversations in a human-like-manner. The focus lies with the modelling of conversational dynamics and the appropriate realization of multi-modal feedback behaviour. READ MORE
