Application of Robotics to Domestic and Environmental Cleanup Tasks
2021Robots are often used to perform repetitive, dangerous, and undesirable tasks for humans. In this paper, we discuss the current potential of robots for assisting humans with a variety of mundane but important tasks. Robotics technology has reached the point where relatively inexpensive robotic solutions can be created for many commonly encountered ...

Vision for robotic object manipulation in domestic settings
Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2005In this paper, we present a vision system for robotic object manipulation tasks in natural, domestic environments. Given complex fetch-and-carry robot tasks, the issues related to the whole detect-approach-grasp loop are considered. Our vision system integrates a number of algorithms using monocular and binocular cues to achieve robustness in realistic

Designing domestic robots with personality
2011Research has shown that robots tend to induce the perception of personality through their behaviour and appearance. It has therefore been suggested that the concept of personality can be used as a guiding principle for designing the interface and interactions with robotic appliances.

Human Perceptions of the Severity of Domestic Robot Errors
2017As robots increasingly take part in daily living activities, humans will have to interact with them in domestic and other human-oriented environments. We can expect that domestic robots will exhibit occasional mechanical, programming or functional errors, as occur with other electrical consumer devices.

Towards Lively Surveillance? The Domestication of Companion Robots
2020Robot pets of varying degrees of sophistication are advertised as ideal companions for older adults, with claims that they support their emotional and cognitive needs. A new generation of companion robot pets is emerging equipped with internet connections, recognition software, and AI platforms to mimic desired aspects of animal-human relationships and
