Can a Humanoid Robot Spot a Liar?

, 2019
Lie detection is a necessary skill for a variety of social professions, including teachers, reporters, therapists, and law enforcement officers. Autonomous system and robots should acquire such skill to support professionals in numerous working contexts.

Humanoid Motion Description Language

, 2002
In this paper we propose a description language for specifying motions for humanoid robots and for allowing humanoid robots to acquire motor skills. Locomotion greatly increases our ability to interact with our environments, which in turn increases our ...

Motion-generation system for violin-playing robot using reinforcement learning differences in bowing parameters due to changes in learning conditions and sound pressure values

Frontiers in Robotics and AI
Recently, research on human-robot communication attracts many researchers. We believe that music is one of the important channel between human and robot, because it can convey emotional information. In this research, we focus on the violin performance by

FludoJelly: Experimental Study on Jellyfish-Like Soft Robot Enabled by Soft Pneumatic Composite (SPC)

Robotics, 2019
Several bio-inspired underwater robots have been demonstrated in the last few years that can horizontally swim using different smart actuators. However, very few works have been presented on robots which can swim vertically, have a payload and resemble a

Autonomous valve turning with an Atlas humanoid robot

, 2014
Fast valve turning is described using an Atlas humanoid robot. An integrated valve-turning skill is presented, which only requires an operator to issue a supervisory command to launch valve identification, motion planning, biped locomotion and valve ...

Mathematical Modeling of a Quasi-passive Dynamic Walker with Whole-body Tensile Connections

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu
Humans have whole-body viscoelastic connections called anatomy trains (ATs), which include multiple muscles and connective tissues. ATs are expected to realize coordinated motion in passive dynamic walkers with a large number of joints.

Children, Humanoid Robots and Caregivers

, 2004
This paper presents developmental learning on a humanoid robot from human-robot interactions. We consider in particular teaching humanoids as children during the child's Separation and Individuation developmental phase (Mahler, 1979).

Imitation Learning of Humanoid Locomotion Using the Direction of the Landing Foot [PDF]

, 2009
Since it is quite difficult to create motions for humanoid robots having fairly large numbers of degrees of freedom, it would be very convenient indeed if robots could observe and imitate what they want to create.

Moving just like you: motor interference depends on similar motility of agent and observer. [PDF]

, 2012
Recent findings in neuroscience suggest an overlap between brain regions involved in the execution of movement and perception of another's movement. This so-called "action-perception coupling" is supposed to serve our ability to automatically infer the ...
