Sound representation and classification benchmark for domestic robots [PDF]

open access: yes2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2014
We address the problem of sound representation and classification and present results of a comparative study in the context of a domestic robotic scenario. A dataset of sounds was recorded in realistic conditions (background noise, presence of several sound sources, reverberations, etc.) using the humanoid robot NAO.

Responsible domestic robotics: exploring ethical implications of robots in the home [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society, 2019
Purpose The vision of robotics in the home promises increased convenience, comfort, companionship and greater security for users. The robot industry risks causing harm to users, being rejected by society at large or being regulated in overly prescriptive ways if robots are not developed in a socially responsible manner.

Towards a novel safety norm for domestic robotics [PDF]

open access: yes2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007
Safety is a critical success factor for consumer acceptance of domestic robotic products. Some researchers have adopted the Head Injury Criterion (HIC) as absolute safety norm. However, this norm covers only part of the safety risk. In many cases skin damage (e.g. cuts, wounds, etc) can be a more serious risk.
