A Visual Sensor for Domestic Service Robots
JAREE (Journal on Advanced Research in Electrical Engineering), 2018 In this study, we present a visual sensor for domestic service robots, which can capture both color information and three-dimensional information in real time, by calibrating a time of flight camera and two CCD cameras.

Robots, offshoring, and welfare [PDF]
, 2022 We study the effect of industrial robots in the presence of offshoring. A simple model shows that if robots displace foreign-sourced tasks, automation is necessarily welfare-improving for the domestic economy.

Domestic Service Robots in the Real World [PDF]
Journal of Intelligent & Robotic Systems, 2011 The use of robots in domestic environments has increased largely in the recent years. There are already several millions robots used for basic household chores (e.g. vacuum cleaning) or for entertainment. It is expected that domestic service robots become more and more useful, autonomous, multipurpose and reliable, and that they will be able to ...

Called Back Onstage: Dramaturgic Analysis, Domestic Social Robots, and Privacy
, 2023 I argue that social robots installed inside homes produce a novel privacy problem when they invite their users to engage with them. To build my case, I introduce relevant concepts from Erving Goffman’s theory of Dramaturgic Analysis to interpret human ...
