If looks could kill: Humanoid robots play a gaze-based social game with humans
Gaze plays an important role in everyday communication between humans. Eyes are not only used to perceive information during interaction, but also to control it.

A Spherical Cross-Channel Algorithm for Binaural Sound Localization [PDF]
This paper proposes a sound localization algorithm inspired by a cross-channel algorithm first studied by MacDonald et. al in 2008. The original algorithm assumes that the Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) of the robotic head under study are ...

Integration of vertical COM motion and angular momentum in an extended Capture Point tracking controller for bipedal walking [PDF]
In this paper, we demonstrate methods for bipedal walking control based on the Capture Point (CP) methodology. In particular, we introduce a method to intuitively derive a CP reference trajectory from the next three steps and extend the linear ...

Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

The Future of Research in Cognitive Robotics: Foundation Models or Developmental Cognitive Models?
Research in cognitive robotics founded on principles of developmental psychology and enactive cognitive science would yield what we seek in autonomous robots: the ability to perceive its environment, learn from experience, anticipate the outcome of events, act to pursue goals, and adapt to changing circumstances without resorting to training with ...

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

Grounding Large Language Models for Robot Task Planning Using Closed‐Loop State Feedback
BrainBody‐Large Language Model (LLM) introduces a hierarchical, feedback‐driven planning framework where two LLMs coordinate high‐level reasoning and low‐level control for robotic tasks. By grounding decisions in real‐time state feedback, it reduces hallucinations and improves task reliability.
