2. 1. Sense of Touch in Robots

   Author : Magnus Johnsson; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; touch perception; neural network; robot hand; brain model; cognitive model; robot model; tensor network; associative self-organizing map; SOM; proprioception;

   Abstract : This thesis discusses a number of robot touch perception systems. All these systems are self-organizing and model different aspects of human touch perception. The thesis starts out with introductions to the anatomy and the physiology of the human hand. READ MORE

4. 2. Interactive Perception : From Scenes to Objects

   Author : Niklas Bergström; Danica Kragic; Yiannis Aloimonos; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis builds on the observation that robots, like humans, do not have enough experience to handle all situations from the start. Therefore they need tools to cope with new situations, unknown scenes and unknown objects. In particular, this thesis addresses objects. READ MORE

5. 3. Social Robots as Intentional Agents

   Author : Sam Thellman; Tom Ziemke; Annika Silvervarg; Maartje de Graaf; Jessica Lindblom; Agnieszka Wykowska; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Human-robot interaction; folk psychology; intentionality; Människa-robot-interaktion; vardagspsykolgi; intentionalitet;

   Abstract : Social robots are robots that are intended for social interaction with people. Because of the societal benefits that they are expected to bring, social robots are likely to become more common. READ MORE

6. 4. Interpretation and Alignment of 2D Indoor Maps : Towards a Heterogeneous Map Representation

   Author : Saeed Gholami Shahbandi; Björn Åstrand; Roland Philippsen; Antanas Verikas; Patric Jensfelt; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robotics; Mobile Robots; Autonomous Robots; Robot Perception; Robotic Mapping; Map Interpretation; Semantic Mapping; Place Categorization; Place Labeling; Semantic Annotation; Map Alignment; Region Segmentation; Region Decomposition; Map Representation; Heterogeneous Representation;

   Abstract : Mobile robots are increasingly being used in automation solutions with notable examples in service robots, such as home-care, and warehouses. Autonomy of mobile robots is particularly challenging, since their work space is not deterministic, known a priori, or fully predictable. READ MORE

7. 5. SOCIAL ROBOTS / SOCIAL COGNITION : Robots' Gaze Effects in Older and Younger Adults

   Author : Lucas Morillo-Mendez; Oscar Martinez Mozos; Martien Schrooten; Agnieszka Wykowska; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This dissertation presents advances in social human-robot interaction (HRI) and human social cognition through a series of experiments in which humans face a robot. A predominant approach to studying the human factor in HRI consists of placing the human in the role of a user to explore potential factors affecting the acceptance or usability of a robot. READ MORE
