2. 1. Mind in Action : Action Representation and the Perception of Biological Motion

   Abstract : The ability to understand and communicate about the actions of others is a fundamental aspect of our daily activity. How can we talk about what others are doing? What qualities do different actions have such that they cause us to see them as being different or similar? What is the connection between what we see and the development of concepts and words or expressions for the things that we see? To what extent can two different people see and talk about the same things? Is there a common basis for our perception, and is there then a common basis for the concepts we form and the way in which the concepts become lexicalized in language? The broad purpose of this thesis is to relate aspects of perception, categorization and language to action recognition and conceptualization. READ MORE

4. 2. Recognition of Prior Learning in Health Care : From a Caring Ideology and Power, to Communicative Action and Recognition

   Author : Fredrik Sandberg; Per Andersson; Andreas Fejes; Kjell Rubenson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; RPL; health care; health care assistant; critical social theory; communicative action; recognition; adult education; adult learning; Jürgen Habermas; Axel Honneth; Validering; omvårdnad; vårdbiträde; kritisk samhällsteori; kommunikativt handlande; erkännande; vuxnas lärande; Jürgen Habermas; Axel Honneth;

   Abstract : During the last decades Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) has become a more frequently used method to recognise adult’s prior learning. This thesis analyses a process of RPL in health care, where health care assistants are assessed against subjects in the upper-secondary health care program. READ MORE

5. 3. Expressing and recognizing intentions

   Author : Michele Persiani; Thomas Hellström; Ola Ringdahl; Felipe Meneguzzi; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; agent; model; plan; action; human-robot interaction; robot; mirror agent model; intention; recognition; interpretable behavior; artificial intelligence; human-computer interaction; människa-datorinteraktion; Computer Science; datalogi;

   Abstract : With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence, intelligent computer programs known as agents are coming increasingly close to the life of human beings. In an optimistic view, predictions tell us that agents will be governing many machines such as phones, robots and cars. READ MORE

6. 4. Action Recognition for Robot Learning

   Author : Alessandro Pieropan; Kjellström Hedvig; Markus Vinkze; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : This thesis builds on the observation that robots cannot be programmed to handle any possible situation in the world. Like humans, they need mechanisms to deal with previously unseen situations and unknown objects. One of the skills humans rely on to deal with the unknown is the ability to learn by observing others.

7. 5. Computational models for intent recognition in robotic systems

   Author : Michele Persiani; Thomas Hellström; Sven Magg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Intent Recognition; Robotics; Plan Recognition; Speech; Affordances; Computer Science; datalogi;

   Abstract : The ability to infer and mediate intentions has been recognized as a crucial task in recent robotics research, where it is agreed that robots are required to be equipped with intentional mechanisms in order to participate in collaborative tasks with humans.Reasoning about - or rather, perceiving - intentions enables robots to infer what other agents are doing, to communicate what are their plans, or to take proactive decisions.
