2. 1. On Making Robots Proactive

   Author : Jasmin Grosinger; Alessandro Saffiotti; Federico Pecora; Fiora Pirri; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proactive robots; Goal Reasoning; Knowledge representation and reasoning; Fuzzy logic;

   Abstract : The question addressed in this thesis is: Can we make robots proactive? Proactivity is understood as self-initiated, anticipatory action. This entails the ability to generate own goals and pursue them. Our work is based on the assumption that proactivity makes robots more acceptable in human-inhabited environments. READ MORE

4. 2. Programming for Reliability and Safety in Robotics: The Role of Domain-Specific Languages : Domain Specific Programming for Safe and Reliable Robots

   Author : Momina Rizwan; Programvaruteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Domain Specific Languages; Robot programming; safety;

   Abstract : Autonomous robots must operate reliably and predictably in uncertain environ-ments. Throughout the robot software development cycle, robot operators and de-velopers must be able to specify their safety and functional requirements reliablyand explicitly. To this end, we propose to use Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs)to address their needs. READ MORE

5. 3. 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.

6. 4. Constraint-based Methods for Human-aware Planning

   Author : Uwe Köckemann; Federico Pecora; Lars Karlsson; Paolo Traverso; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Task Planning; Constraint-based Planning; Human-aware Planning; Information technology; Informationsteknologi;

   Abstract : As more robots and sensors are deployed in work and home environments, there is a growing need for these devices to act with some degree of autonomy to fulfill their purpose. Automated planning can be used to synthesize plans of action that achieve this. READ MORE
