Human Action Recognition for Social Robots

2019 22nd International Conference on Control Systems and Computer Science (CSCS), 2019
Social assistive robotics is at the forefront of the effort for ensuring independent living and inclusion, especially for the elderly and vulnerable members of the population. We consider that to be proactive is a core requirement of such robotic systems. One key aspect of being proactive is to understand what the user is doing. We explored the task of

Programming robotic agents with action descriptions

2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2017
This paper tackles the problem of generalizing robot control programs over multiple objects, tasks and environments, based on the concept of action descriptions. These are abstract, general, semantic descriptions of an action that are augmented during execution with subsymbolic parameters specific to the context at hand.

Hand action perception for robot programming

Proceedings of IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. IROS '96, 2002
This paper presents a general and robust approach to hand action perception for automatic robot programming using depth image sequences. The human instructor must simply demonstrate an assembly task in front of a vision system in the human world; no dataglove or special markings are necessary.

An Effective Robotic Model of Action Selection

2006
In this paper we present a concise analysis of the requirements for effective action selection, and a centralized action selection model that fulfills most of these requirements. In this model, action selection occurs by combining sensory information from the non-homogenous sensors of an off-the-shelf robot with the feedback from competing behavioral ...

Logistics Robotics in Action

The integration of robotics is rapidly transforming global logistics by enhancing storage, processing, and distribution. It speeds up operations, improves accuracy, and makes them more efficient. Robotics is changing the way conventional logistics work by adding automated guided vehicles (AGVs), robotic arms, drone-based delivery, and smart sorting ...

Actions & Imagined Actions in Cognitive Robots

2011
Natural/Artificial systems that are capable of utilizing thoughts at the service of their actions are gifted with the profound opportunity to mentally manipulate the causal structure of their physical interactions with the environment. A cognitive robot can in this way virtually reason about how an unstructured world should “change,” such that it ...

Evaluating robotic actions

Introduction: Enhancing medical robot training traditionally relies on explicit feedback from physicians to identify optimal and suboptimal robotic actions during surgery. Passive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer an emerging alternative by enabling implicit brain-based performance evaluations.

Proactive Robots in Human–Robot Action Teams

In action teams, members coordinate in fast-paced, uncertain conditions to achieve a common goal – for example, firefighters and emergency medical teams. In many contexts, action teams are under-resourced, which can impede their success. Well-designed and well-contextualized proactive robots, which take initiative to help their human teammates, may ...

How Are Robots’ Reasons for Action Grounded?

2018
This paper defends the view that (non-conscious) robots’ reasons for action can only be grounded externally, in the qualitative character of the conscious affective experience of their programmers or users. Within reasoning, reasons for action need to be evaluated in a way that provides immediate non-inferential justification of one’s reasons to ...
