  2. 1. Design Optimization in Industrial Robotics : Methods and Algorithms for Drive Train Design

    Author : Marcus Pettersson; Johan Ölvander (Andersson); Torgny Brogårdh; Jorge Angeles; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robot manufacturers; industrial robot; robot design; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

    Abstract : Robot manufacturers, like many other manufacturers, are experiencing increasing competition in a global market where one way to confront the challenge is by making the development process more efficient. One way to speed up the time to market for new products is to take advantage of design optimization based on simulation models. READ MORE

  4. 2. Robot Sound in Interaction : Analyzing and Designing Sound for Human-Robot Coordination

    Author : Hannah Pelikan; Leelo Keevallik; Mathias Broth; Christian Licoppe; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Conversation analysis; Ethnomethodology; Human-robot interaction; Interaction design; Multimodality; Non-lexical sounds; Robot sound; Video analysis; Etnometodologi; Icke-lexikala ljud; Interaktionsanalys; Interaktionsdesign; Multimodalitet; Människa-robotinteraktion; Robotljud; Videoanalys;

    Abstract : Robots naturally emit sound, but we still know little about how sound can serve as an interface that makes a robot’s behavior explainable to humans. This dissertation draws on insights about human practices for coordinating bodily activities through sound, investigating how they could inform robot design. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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.

  6. 4. Cultivating Mechanical Sympathy : Making meaning with ambiguous machines

    Author : Joseph La Delfa; Kristina Höök; William Odom; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drones; Aesthetics; Design; Human-Computer Interaction; Human-Drone Interaction; Human-Robot Interaction; drönare; estetik; design; människa-datorinteraktion; människa-drönarinteraktion; människa-robotinteraktion; Människa-datorinteraktion; Human-computer Interaction;

    Abstract : Moving with a drone can be a captivating and reflective experience. A drone can easily grab my attention, yet its hold is distinctly different to a screen where my body goes missing and my eyes are held captive. Instead, my body feels alive and present. As if every part of it is playing a crucial role in keeping the drone in the air. READ MORE

  7. 5. Iterative Learning Control : Analysis, Design, and Experiments

    Author : Mikael Norrlöf; Svante Gunnarsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial robots; Robot programming; Robot modeling;

    Abstract : In many industrial robot applications it is a fact that the robot is programmed to do the same task repeatedly. By observing the control error in the different iterations of the same task it becomes clear that it is actually highly repetitive. READ MORE
