Child-robot interaction in the wild

Proceedings of the 13th international conference on multimodal interfaces, 2011
We present insights gleaned from a series of child-robot interaction experiments carried out in a hospital paediatric department. Our aim here is to share good practice in experimental design and lessons learned about the implementation of systems for social HRI with child users towards application in "the wild", rather than in tightly controlled and ...

Data-Driven Robotic Grasping in the Wild

2021
Robotic grasping has seen tremendous advancements in recent years. Yet, the current paradigm of manipulation research is typically some form of table-top manipulationin constrained setups or in simulation. Building general purpose personal robots that can autonomously grasp unknown objects in unstructured environments like homes isan open problem.

The fugitive

Proceedings of the 2014 ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-robot interaction, 2014
The aim of the movie is to highlight some of the key challenges facing so-cial robots in the wild. The opening scene shows a PR2 leaving research laboratory venturing into the real world alone in search of meaning. Each subsequent scene in the movie raises important research questions highlighting problems that need to be addressed in the field of ...

Directions robot: in-the-wild experiences and lessons learned

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2014
We introduce Directions Robot, a system we have fielded for studying open-world human-robot interaction. The system brings together models for situated spoken language interaction with directions-generation and a gesturing humanoid robot. We describe the perceptual, interaction, and output generation competencies of this system.

Walk on the wild side [modular robot motion]

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2002
Designers of the PolyBot robot system solve the challenges of locomotion by mimicking locomotion in the animal world. PolyBot is a robot system made of many repeated simple modules. These modules can be connected together to form a variety of shapes to form a new system enabling a variety of functionalities.

Humanoid robot avatars: An ‘in the wild’ usability study

2016 25th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN), 2016
In this paper, we report a breaching study to explore the use of a tele-operated humanoid avatar from both the perspective of the robot operator and the perspective of interlocutors. Humanoid robot avatars provide capabilities that video conferencing and mobile remote presence devices lack, particularly in multi-party conversations.
