Hand Motion ◽

The fundamental technologies for Human-Computer Interaction are Hand motion tracking and Gesture Identification. The same technology has been adapted for Human-Robot Interaction. This paper discusses a natural methodology for Human-Robot Interaction. In the proposed system, the accelerometers at the fingers, tracks specific gestures. These gestures are identified by the controller, which in turn controls the actuators that results in Humanoid walking. The Humanoid under consideration has 8 Degrees of Freedom.

Public Environment ◽

Over the last few decades, semi-autonomous machine’s technology started to promote awareness towards the importance of human–robot interaction (HRI) for improving daily activities. More affordable social robots are being commercially released and in order to implement viable applications of HRI, a combination human-computer interaction and user experience methodologies could play a pivotal role in assessing new scenarios and evaluating new investigations. However, literature shows that it is still challenging to reach an optimal user experience with robotic companions. The aim of the study was to determine the chance to enhance the user experience with a semi-autonomous social robot, using user experience and human–computer interaction methodologies. In this study, a social robotic companion has been developed and prototyped in order to be adopted in a specific public environment such as a company workspace. The challenges emerged from this peculiar environment triggered the need for a more productive and comfortable office for the employees, and, at the same time, the usability, acceptance and likeability of the robotic companion have been evaluated. The results emphasize that, since HRI is highly interdisciplinary, the benefits of combining approaches from other fields could positively benefit from a meaningful social interaction with the users.

The Status ◽

The thesis research aimed to further the study of human-robot interaction (HRI) issues, especially regarding the development of rescue robot. The paper firstly discussed the status of the rescue robot and described the framework of human-robot interaction of search-rescue robot and rescue-evacuation robot. Subsequently, the general HRI issues will be discussed to explain how they affect the use of robots. Finally, we present suggested this multidisciplinary field of research, namely human-robot interaction, requires contributions from a variety of research fields such as robotics, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence.

In the field of human-computer interaction, the Natural Goals, Operators, Methods, and Selection rules Language (NGOMSL) model is one of the most popular methods for modelling knowledge and cognitive processes for rapid usability evaluation. The NGOMSL model is a description of the knowledge that a user must possess to operate the system represented as elementary actions for effective usability evaluations. In the last few years, mobile robots have been exhibiting a stronger presence in commercial markets and very little work has been done with NGOMSL modelling for usability evaluations in the human-robot interaction discipline. This paper focuses on extending the NGOMSL model for usability evaluation of human-humanoid robot interaction in the soccer robotics domain. The NGOMSL modelled human-humanoid interaction design of Robo-Erectus Junior was evaluated and the results of the experiments showed that the interaction design was able to find faults in an average time of 23.84 s. Also, the interaction design was able to detect the fault within the 60 s in 100% of the cases. The Evaluated Interaction design was adopted by our Robo-Erectus Junior version of humanoid robots in the RoboCup 2007 humanoid soccer league.

Abstract Purpose of Review To present the multi-faceted aspects of communication between robot and humans (HRI), putting in evidence that it is not limited to language-based interaction, but it includes all aspects that are relevant in communication among physical beings, exploiting all the available sensor channels. Recent Findings For specific purposes, machine learning algorithms could be exploited when data sets and appropriate algorithms are available. Summary Together with linguistic aspects, physical aspects play an important role in HRI and make the difference with respect to the more limited human-computer interaction (HCI). A review of the recent literature about the exploitation of different interaction channels is presented. The interpretation of signals and the production of appropriate communication actions require to consider psychological, sociological, and practical aspects, which may affect the performance. Communication is just one of the functionalities of an interactive robot and, as all the others, will need to be benchmarked to support the possibility for social robots to reach a real market.
