Abstract:
Brojna istraživanja nastala u okviru socijalno-asistivne robotike usmjerena su na stvaranje učinkovite podrške djeci s poremećajem iz spektra autizma (PSA) kroz njihovu interakciju s robotima. Ona počivaju na premisi da djeca sa PSA-om pokazuju sklonost elektroničkim napravama, a slabiji interes za socijalne aspekte okoline. No izrazito veliki interes za elektroničke naprave u sve djece otvara pitanje reagiraju li djeca sa PSA-om na prisustvo robota drukčije od djece tipičnog razvoja. Cilj je ovog istraživanja bio usporediti reakcije djece sa PSA-om i djece tipičnog razvoja na robota u nesocijalnom (zadatak “robot-predmet” u kojem su u prostoriji prisutni robot i drugi zanimljivi predmeti) i socijalnom kontekstu (zadatak “robot osoba”; prisustvo robota i nepoznate osobe). Uzorak je činilo dvadesetero djece predškolske dobi, po 10 u svakoj skupini. Rezultati su pokazali da djeca sa PSA-om u nesocijalnom kontekstu uglavnom pokazuju podjednake obrasce ponašanja kao i djeca tipičnog razvoja, odnosno da ne postoje razlike u dužini prosječnog trajanja usmjerenosti pogleda prema robotu te dužini fizičke interakcije s robotom. Razlike su uočene tek u socijalnom aspektu – djeca tipičnog razvoja u većoj su mjeri komunicirala o robotu s roditeljem. U socijalnoj situaciji (zadatak “robot-osoba”) djeca sa PSA-om su značajno više ulazila u fizičku interakciju s robotom od djece tipičnog razvoja, dok su djeca tipičnog razvoja znatno češće usmjeravala pažnju na osobu u odnosu na djecu sa PSA-om. Zaključno obje skupine djece znatno su više pažnje usmjeravale na robota negoli na prisutnu osobu, ali je u djece sa PSA-om usmjerenost na socijalnu okolnu bila izrazito snižena. Ovi podaci ukazuju na veliku atraktivnost koju roboti predstavljaju za djecu s poremećajem iz spektra autizma i djecu tipičnog razvoja, ali i na bitnu razliku među njima koja se očituje u izostanku obrazaca socijalnog ponašanja i usmjerenosti na druge osobe u okolini koji je prisutan u djece sa PSA-om.

Abstract:
SUMMARYThis paper presents a multi-agent behavior to cooperatively rescue a faulty robot using a sound signal. In a robot team, the faulty robot should be immediately recalled since it may seriously obstruct other robots, or collected matters in the faulty robot may be lost. For the rescue mission, we first developed a sound localization method, which estimates the sound source from a faulty robot by using multiple microphone sensors. Next, since a single robot cannot recall the faulty robot, the robots organized a heterogeneous rescue team by themselves with pusher, puller, and supervisor. This self-organized team succeeded in moving the faulty robot to a safe zone without help from any global positioning systems. Finally, our results demonstrate that a faulty robot among multi-agent robots can be immediately rescued with the cooperation of its neighboring robots and interactive communication between the faulty robot and the rescue robots. Experiments are presented to test the validity and practicality of the proposed approach.

Abstract:
An important future application of robotics will be the utilization of mobile service robots in homes and offices, assisting people with their daily chores. Above all, these robots must be safe to use. In addition, service robots must be designed to be effective, productive, and user-friendly. In order for people to accept and use these robots, the robots must behave in a manner acceptable to humans. The intelligent control of service robots must take into. account the effects of robot behaviors on people. This paper focuses on the interactions between humans and mobile service robots, studying how people respond to a variety of robot behaviors as the robot performs certain tasks. Since different people could react differently to service robots, this paper reports on the effects of users' gender, age, technical background, and robot body preference on the responses to robot behaviors. The robot behaviors include the robot approaching a human, the robot avoiding a human while passing, and the robot performing non-interactive behaviors. The level of comfort the robot caused human subjects was analyzed according to the effects of robot speed, robot distance, and robot body design. It is hoped that information gained from human factor studies can be used to obtain a better understanding of acceptability of service robots by different people, resulting in the design and development of more effective intelligent controllers for service robots in the coming new generation.

Abstract:
Making full use of the cooperation of multi-robots can improve the success rate of apursuit task. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-robot cooperative pursuit strategy based on the zero-sum game and surrounding points adjustment. First, a mathematical description of the multi-robot pursuit problem is constructed, and the zero-sum game model is established considering the cooperation of the pursuit robots and the confrontation between the pursuit robots and the escape robot. By solving the game model, the optimal movement strategies of the pursuit robots and the escape robot are obtained. Then, the position adjustment method of the pursuit robots is studied based on the Hungarian algorithm, and the pursuit robots are controlled to surround the escape robot. Based on this, a multi-robot cooperative pursuit strategy is proposed that divides the pursuit process into two stages: pursuit robot position adjustment and game pursuit. Finally, the correctness and effectiveness of the multi-robot cooperative pursuit strategy are verified with simulation experiments. The multi-robot cooperative pursuit strategy allows the pursuit robots to capture the escape robot successfully without conflicts among the pursuit robots. It can be seen from the documented simulation experiments that the success rate of the pursuit task using the strategy proposed in this paper is 100%.

The robot-triathlon contest involves three tasks: line tracing, a wandering forest, and cone stacking. Robots must complete these tasks as fast as possible with autonomous control. This means that function design usually takes priority over aesthetic appeal. We are the only college of design education team taking part. Our teams have done so by developing robots that take both function and aesthetic appeal into account. Based on 3D modeling technology, design education students use their design and modeling skills to design robots that are both aesthetic and functional. Riden was designed using SolidWorks 3D-CAD software and its parts modeled using a 3D printer.

Abstract:
The focus of my inquiry in this article is the figure of the Human that is enacted in the design of the humanoid robot. The humanoid or anthropomorphic robot is a model (in)organism, engineered in the roboticist’s laboratory in ways that both align with and diverge from the model organisms of biology. Like other model organisms, the laboratory robot’s life is inextricably infused with its inherited materialities and with the ongoing — or truncated — labours of its affiliated humans. But while animal models are rendered progressively more standardised and replicable as tools for the biological sciences, the humanoid robot is individuated and naturalised. Three stagings of human— robot encounters (with the robots Mertz, Kismet and Robota respectively) demonstrate different possibilities for conceptualising these subject objects, for the claims about humanness that they corporealise, and for the kinds of witnessing that they presuppose.

Abstract:
In recent years, research has been conducted on swarm robot systems in which multiple autonomous mobile robots cooperate to perform tasks. Swarm robot systems are expected to perform high functionality as a group by cooperating with each other, in spite of the limited capabilities of the individual robots. This paper explores a method of simplifying swarm robot controllers as much as possible for swarm robot navigation. If we can achieve autonomous navigation of swarm robots to a target area with minimal resource consumption, they only need to implement the task execution function in that area. This leads to lower costs for swarm robot design and more efficient system architecture design. To address the above aims, this study focuses on heterogeneity. Specifically, we introduce a navigator robot that indirectly guides swarm robots named the worker robots. Heterogeneity in this paper refers to the worker robots and the navigator robots. We design the interaction between the navigator robot and the worker robots to provide a system that guides the worker robots to the destination.

Abstract:
Like computer architects, robot designers must address multiple, possibly competing, requirements by balancing trade-offs in terms of processing, memory, communication, and energy to satisfy design objectives. However, robot architects currently lack the design guidelines, organizing principles, rules of thumb, and tools that computer architects rely upon. This thesis takes a step in this direction, by analyzing the roles of heterogeneity and distribution in robot systems architecture. This thesis takes a systems architecture approach to the design of robot systems, and in particular, investigates the use of distributed, heterogeneous platforms to exploit locality in robot systems design. We show how multiple, distributed heterogeneous platforms can serve as general purpose robot systems for three distinct domains with different design objectives: increasing availability in a search and rescue mission, increasing flexibility and ease-of-use for a personal educational robot, and decreasing the computation and sensing resources necessary for navigation and foraging tasks.

Abstract:
The CAMAL architecture (Computational Architectures for Motivation,Affect and Learning) provides an excellent framework within which to explore and investigate issues relevant to cognitive science and artificial intelligence. This thesis describes a small sub element of the CAMAL architecture that has been implemented on a mobile robot. The first area of investigation within this research relates to the anchoring problem. Can the robotic agent generate symbols based on responses within its perceptual systems and can it reason about its environment based on those symbols? Given that the agent can identify changes within its environment, can it then adapt its behaviour and alter its goals to mirror the change in its environment? The second area of interest involves agent learning. The agent has a domain model that details its goals, the actions it can perform and some of the possible environmental states it may encounter. The agent is not provided with the belief-goal-action combinations in order to achieve its goals. The agent is also unaware of the effect its actions have upon its environment. Can the agent experiment with its behaviour to generate its own belief-goal-action combinations that allow it to achieve its goals? A second related problem involves the case where the belief-goal-action combination is pre-programmed. This is when the agent is provided with several different methods with which to achieve a specific goal. Can the agent learn which combination is the best? This thesis will describe the sub-element of the CAMAL architecture that was developed for a robot (robo-CAMAL). It will also demonstrate how robo-CAMAL solves the anchoring problem, and learns how to act and adapt in its environment.

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. Due to their continuously changing product lines, reprogramming costs are likely to exceed installation costs by a large margin. Furthermore, traditional programming methods for industrial robots are too complex for an inexperienced robot programmer, thus assistance from a robot programming expert is often needed.  We hypothesize that in order to make industrial robots more common within the SME sector, the robots should be reprogrammable by technicians or manufacturing engineers rather than robot programming experts. In this thesis we propose a high-level natural language framework for interacting with industrial robots through an instructional programming environment for the user.  The ultimate goal of this thesis is to bring robot programming to a stage where it is as easy as working together with a colleague.In this thesis we mainly address two issues. The first issue is to make interaction with a robot easier and more natural through a multimodal framework. The proposed language architecture makes it possible to manipulate, pick or place objects in a scene through high level commands. Interaction with simple voice commands and gestures enables the manufacturing engineer to focus on the task itself, rather than programming issues of the robot. This approach shifts the focus of industrial robot programming from the coordinate based programming paradigm, which currently dominates the field, to an object based programming scheme.The second issue addressed is a general framework for implementing multimodal interfaces. There have been numerous efforts to implement multimodal interfaces for computers and robots, but there is no general standard framework for developing them. The general framework proposed in this thesis is designed to perform natural language understanding, multimodal integration and semantic analysis with an incremental pipeline and includes a novel multimodal grammar language, which is used for multimodal presentation and semantic meaning generation.

Abstract:
Developing robots that are useful to older adults is more than simply creating robots that complete household tasks. To ensure that older adults perceive a robot to be useful, careful consideration of the users’ capabilities, robot autonomy, and task is needed (Venkatesh & Davis, 2000). The purpose of this study was to investigate the construct of perceived usefulness within the context of robot assistance. Mobile older adults (N = 12) and older adults with mobility loss (N=12) participated in an autonomy selection think aloud task, and a persona based interview. Findings suggest that older adults with mobility loss preferred an autonomy level where they command/control the robot themselves. Mobile older adults’ preferences were split between commanding/controlling the robot themselves, or the robot commands/controls itself. Reasons for their preferences were related to decision making, and were task specific. Additionally, findings from the persona base interview study support Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) constructs, as well as adaptability, reliability, and trust as positively correlated with perceptions of usefulness. However, despite the positive correlation, barriers and facilitators of acceptance identified in the interview suggest that perceived usefulness judgments are complex, and some questionnaire constructs were interpreted differently between participants. Thus, care should be taken when applying TAM constructs to other domains, such as robot assistance to promote older adult independence.

Abstract:
The Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) is a scheduling-like problem motivated by robot swarm activation. The input consists of the locations of a set of mobile robots in some metric space. One robot is initially active, while the others are initially frozen. Active robots can move at unit speed, and upon reaching the location of a frozen robot, the latter is activated. The goal is to activate all the robots within the minimum time, i.e., minimizing the time the last frozen robot is activated, the so-called makespan of the schedule. Arkin et al. proved that FTP is strongly NP-hard even if we restrict the problem to metric spaces arising from the metric closure of an edge-weighted star graph, where a frozen robot is placed on each leaf, and the active robot is placed at the center of this star [Arkin et al. 2002]. In this work, we continue to explore the complexity of FTP and show that it keeps its hardness even if further restricted to binary unweighted rooted trees with frozen robots only at leaves and the active robot on its root. Additionally, we prove that a generalized version, whose domain includes ternary weighted trees, remains hard, even if we require that every non-root node has precisely one frozen robot.

Abstract:
The main purpose of this project is to develop a robot that can follow a human to help their activities easy in a well-planned manner. The first implementation of this project is to detect a human and follows the human in a single human environment. The last implementation is to upgrade this into a robot that can detect humans in a busy environment. When designing a robot to work as a human follower it must fulfill some requirements. The issues which are more focused to resolve in here are, the size and mobility while tracking the humans and obstacle detection of the robot. There are many human assistant robots that manufacture small scale in size, but they are not capable of well-assistance and also most of the physically large robots find it hard to assist and handle some activities. Most of the humans following robots are designed for single work, therefore people tend to spend more money on buying robots to fulfill various work. Usually, the components that are used to develop human detection robots are expensive and it is one of the reasons why these types of assistants are expensive. Here, one of the problems which is mobility of the robot while tracking was resolved by developing a more suitable structure, improving the motor-control method, and adding a step-climbing mechanism to the robot. As the robot is manufactured to follow a human, a method to identify a human using image processing is implemented. Also, a method of detecting the position of human is also implemented. And also, the power plan design and all the electronic developments including the power supply unit development and also the power level checker as well has been implemented. Finally in order to make it less complex the circuit has made on PCB. Keywords: Fuzzy Logic, PID, Structure, Image Processing, Boost Converter, Object Detection, Human Tracking, PCB

Abstract:
This paper describes the design and implementation of a testbed for facilitating the study of human-robot interactions (HRI). HRI has long been a part of robotics research, where humans were typically required to guide the robot task in progress and to ensure safe operation. The current state of human interaction with robots, versus simple “machines” (e.g. in manufacturing automation) is quite different. This called for the need to look into different interaction roles between humans and robots. Robots differ from simple machines in that they are mobile, some may be autonomous and hence not as predictable in their actions. To facilitate the research in this domain, the aim is to develop an easy to use and safe front-end human-robot system for human users to interact with physical mobile robots. This testbed provides different types of system configurations (i.e. one human to one robot, one human to multiple robots, etc.) and interfaces for conducting experiments under different HRI scenarios.

Abstract:
This article describes the design and mechanism of ChMindstorms, a cross-platform multi-robot controller, for controlling and programming Lego Mindstorms robots, NXT and EV3, with C/C++ code. Heterogeneous multi-robot systems are facing unique control and programming challenges due to cooperation between different types of robots. ChMindstorms not only has a Graphic Users Interface (GUI) for controller each robot, but also provides Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) integrated with Ch, a C/C++ interpreter, so that robots can be controlled remotely by C/C++ code without compilation. In addition, different types of robots can cooperate with each other effectively, such as sharing sensing abilities. Debugging process is also simplified since a debugger is implemented in Ch so that even beginners can also easily program Lego robots.

Abstract:
Social robots are becoming increasingly relevant in education, for example, by using them as tutors. To create a more empathetic and engaging learning environment, it is important to consider the anthropomorphism of these social robots. However, an ethnic perspective on the use of anthropomorphization is still lacking when it comes to improving learning gains. Therefore, this research focuses on whether personalized, ethnicity-based anthropomorphization of a robot can enhance learning gains. To this end, history lessons were tutored with a Furhat robot, with groups of participants interacting with a Furhat whose face matched the ethnicity of the participants, in an experimental setting. Our results showed that participants who interacted with the robot displaying the personalized, ethnicity-based anthropomorphization learned more than participants interacting with a robot displaying a robotic appearance. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating cultural diversity into educational technologies to foster more effective and inclusive learning environments.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents a human-robot trust integrated task allocation and motion planning framework for multi-robot systems (MRS) in performing a set of parallel subtasks. Parallel subtask specifications are conjuncted with MRS to synthesize a task allocation automaton. Each transition of the task allocation automaton is associated with the total trust value of human in corresponding robots. A dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) based human-robot trust model is constructed considering individual robot performance, safety coefficient, human cognitive workload and overall evaluation of task allocation. Hence, a task allocation path with maximum encoded human-robot trust can be searched based on the current trust value of each robot in the task allocation automaton. Symbolic motion planning (SMP) is implemented for each robot after they obtain the sequence of actions. The task allocation path can be intermittently updated with this DBN based trust model. The overall strategy is demonstrated by a simulation with 5 robots and 3 parallel subtask automata.

Abstract:
As robots are increasingly used in human-cluttered environments, the requirement of human-likeness in their movements becomes essential. Although robots perform a wide variety of demanding tasks around the world in factories, remote sites and dangerous environments, they are still lacking the ability to coordinate with humans in simple, every-day life bi-manual tasks, e.g. removing a jar lid. This paper focuses on the introduction of bio-inspired control schemes for robot arms that coordinate with human arms in bi-manual manipulation tasks. Using data captured from human subjects performing a variety of every-day bi-manual life tasks, we propose a bio-inspired controller for a robot arm, that is able to learn human inter- and intra-arm coordination during those tasks. We embed human arm coordination in low-dimension manifolds, and build potential fields that attract the robot to human-like configurations using the probability distributions of the recorded human data. The method is tested using a simulated robot arm that is identical in structure to the human arm. A preliminary evaluation of the approach is also carried out using an anthropomorphic robot arm in bi-manual manipulation task with a human subject.

Abstract:
Abstract Robots encountering other robots in a group can be beneficial, e.g., to exchange information, or detrimental, e.g., obstructing one another from operating. Kinetic gas theory (KGT) provides a statistical mechanical analysis of the collision rate between molecules. KGT has been applied to model robot encounter rates but there has been some inconsistency in how it has been applied to robot groups. There is a nine order of magnitude difference in size between a typical robot and molecule, so it is not a surprise that some adjustments may need to be made when considering robots instead of molecules. This work develops a model in detail by applying KGT, articulates limitations of applying this theory to robots, highlights inconsistencies in how it has been previously applied to robots, and suggests modifications to the model. A simple numerical study is also shown to validate the model and highlight the effect of differences in the implementation. The most important gap that this research has identified is the need to collect data on the magnitude and direction distribution of robots’ velocities. Robots move and behave differently than gas molecules, whose velocity magnitude follow a Boltzmann distribution. A second major result is the connection of the KGT-based model developed in this work and previous research on robot encounter rate which independently arrived at the same relationship between robot size, number of robots, and encounter rate.

Abstract:
In this paper, a control methodology for a mobility assistive robot is presented. There are various types of robots that can help the disabled. Among these, mobile robots can help to guide a subject from one place to the other. Broadly, the mobile guidance robots can be classified into active and passive type. From a user's safety point of view, passive mobility assistive robots are more desirable than the active robots. In this paper, a two-wheeled differentially driven mobile robot with a castor wheel is considered as the assistive robot. The robot is made to have passive mobility characteristics by a specific choice of control law which creates damper-like resistive forces on the wheels. The paper describes the dynamic model, the suggested control laws to achieve a passive behavior, and experiments on a mobile robot facility at the University of Delaware. From a starting position, the assistive device guides the user to the goal in two phases. In the first phase, the user is guided to reach a goal position while pushing the robot through a handle attached to it. At the end of this first phase, the robot may not have the desired orientation. In the second phase, it is assumed that the user does not apply any further pushing force while the robot corrects the heading angle. A control algorithm is suggested for each phase. In the second phase, the desired heading angle is achieved at the cost of deviation from the final position. This excursion from the goal position is minimized by the controller. This control scheme is first verified in computer simulation. Then, it is implemented on a laboratory system and the experimental results are presented.

Abstract:
Over time, robots degrade because of age and wear, leading to decreased reliability and increasing potential for faults and failures; this negatively impacts robot availability. Economic factors motivate facilities and factories to improve maintenance operations to monitor robot degradation and detect faults and failures, especially to eliminate unexpected shutdowns. Since robot systems are complex, with sub-systems and components, it is challenging to determine these constituent elements’ specific influence on the overall system performance. The development of monitoring, diagnostic, and prognostic technologies (collectively known as Prognostics and Health Management (PHM)), can aid manufacturers in maintaining the performance of robot systems by providing intelligence to enhance maintenance and control strategies. This paper presents the strategy of integrating top level and component level PHM to detect robot performance degradation (including robot tool center accuracy degradation), supported by the development of a four-layer sensing and analysis structure. The top level PHM can quickly detect robot tool center accuracy degradation through advanced sensing and test methods developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The component level PHM supports deep data analysis for root cause diagnostics and prognostics. A reference data set is collected and analyzed using the integration of top level PHM and component level PHM to understand the influence of temperature, speed, and payload on robot’s accuracy degradation.
