  2. 21. Human Robot Interaction Solutions for Intuitive Industrial Robot Programming

    Author : Batu Akan; Baran Curuklu; Lars Asplund; Boyko Iliev; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; huamn robot interaction; industrial robots; intuitive programming; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Over the past few decades the use of industrial robots has increased the efficiency as well as competitiveness of many companies. Despite this fact, in many cases, robot automation investments are considered to be technically challenging. In addition, for most small and medium sized enterprises (SME) this process is associated with high costs. READ MORE

  4. 22. Formations and Obstacle Avoidance in Mobile Robot Control

    Author : Petter Ögren; KTH; []
    Keywords : Mobile Robots; Robot Control; Obstacle Avoidance; Multi-robot system; Formation Control; Navigation Function; Lyapunov Function; Model Predictive Control; Receding Horizon Control; Gradient Climbing; Gradient Estimation.;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four independent papers concerningthe control of mobile robots in the context of obstacleavoidance and formation keeping. The first paper describes a new theoreticallyv erifiableapproach to obstacle avoidance. READ MORE

  5. 23. Human-Robot Interaction and Mapping with a Service Robot : Human Augmented Mapping

    Author : Elin Anna Topp; Henrik I. Christensen; Benjamin J. Kuipers; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Robotics; Human-Robot Interaction; Cognitive modelling; Representation of space; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : An issue widely discussed in robotics research is the ageing society with its consequences for care-giving institutions and opportunities for developments in the area of service robots and robot companions. The general idea of using robotic systems in a personal or private context to support an independent way of living not only for the elderly but also for the physically impaired is pursued in different ways, ranging from socially oriented robotic pets to mobile assistants.

  6. 24. Lean, mean sleep machine? : Effects and experiences of a sleep robot intervention for adults with insomnia

    Author : Siri Jakobsson Støre; Annika Norell-Clarke; Maria Tillfors; Børge Sivertsen; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ADHD; anxiety; depression; hyperarousal; insomnia; robot; sleep; Psykologi; Psychology;

    Abstract : Many adults suffer from insomnia disorder, struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or with early morning awakenings. Hyperarousal is an important predisposing, precipitating and perpetuating factor to insomnia. Anxiety, depression and ADHD are common comorbid disorders, with shared cognitive, behavioral, genetic, and neurological features. READ MORE

  7. 25. Robot Task Learning from Human Demonstration

    Author : Staffan Ekvall; Danica Kragic; Marcus Vincze; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Robotics; Machine Learning; Artificial Intelligence; Computer Vision; Programming by Demonstration; Grasp Mappping; Grasp Recognition; Robot Grasping; Planning; Autonomous Robots; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Today, most robots used in the industry are preprogrammed and require a welldefined and controlled environment. Reprogramming such robots is often a costly process requiring an expert. By enabling robots to learn tasks from human demonstration, robot installation and task reprogramming are simplified. READ MORE
