  2. 1. Robots That Understand Natural Language Instructions and Resolve Ambiguities

    Author : Fethiye Irmak Dogan; Iolanda Leite; Hedvig Kjellström; Hossein Azizpour; David Traum; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Verbal communication is a key challenge in human-robot interaction. For effective verbal interaction, understanding natural language instructions and clarifying ambiguous user requests are crucial for robots. In real-world environments, the instructions can be ambiguous for many reasons. READ MORE

  4. 2. Developing and evaluating co-speech gesture-synthesis models for embodied conversational agents

    Author : Taras Kucherenko; Hedvig Kjellström; Gustav Eje Henter; Iolanda Leite; Jonas Beskow; Stefan Kopp; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human-agent interaction; gesture generation; social robotics; conversational agents; non-verbal behavior; deep learning; machine learning; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Abstract :  A  large part of our communication is non-verbal:   humans use non-verbal behaviors to express various aspects of our state or intent.  Embodied artificial agents, such as virtual avatars or robots, should also use non-verbal behavior for efficient and pleasant interaction.

  5. 3. From Motion Pictures to Robotic Features : Adopting film sound design practices to foster sonic expression in social robotics through interactive sonification

    Author : Adrian Benigno Latupeirissa; Roberto Bresin; Kjetil Falkenberg; Iolanda Leite; KC Collins; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; human-robot interaction; social robotics; film sound design; robot sound; interactive sonification; människa-robotinteraktion; social robotik; filmljuddesign; robotljud; interaktiv sonifiering; Media Technology; Medieteknik;

    Abstract : This dissertation investigates the role of sound design in social robotics, drawing inspiration from robot depictions in science-fiction films. It addresses the limitations of robots’ movements and expressive behavior by integrating principles from film sound design, seeking to improve human-robot interaction through expressive gestures and non-verbal sounds.

  6. 4. Converging Creativity : Intertwining Music and Code

    Author : Claudio Panariello; Roberto Bresin; Kjetil Falkenberg; Iolanda Leite; John Bowers; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Sound and Music Computing; Music Composition; Media Technology; Medieteknik;

    Abstract : This compilation thesis is a collection of case studies that presents examples of creative coding in various contexts, focusing on how such practice led to the creation and exploration of musical expressions, and how I in- interact with the design of the code itself. My own experience as a music composer influences this thesis work. READ MORE

  7. 5. What did you expect? : A human-centered approach to investigating and reducing the social robot expectation gap

    Author : Julia Rosén; Jessica Lindblom; Erik Billing; Maurice Lamb; Christian Balkenius; Iolanda Leite; Högskolan i Skövde; []
