Smart Computing and Sensing Technologies for Animal Welfare: A Systematic Review [PDF]
Animals play a profoundly important and intricate role in our lives today. Dogs have been human companions for thousands of years, but they now work closely with us to assist the disabled, and in combat and search and rescue situations.

Unknown Slope-Oriented Research on Model Predictive Control for Quadruped Robot
There are many undulating terrains in the wild environment. In order to realize the adaptive and stable walking of quadruped robots on unknown sloped terrain, a slope-adaptability model predictive control (SAMPC) algorithm is proposed in this work.

Self-Disclosure to a Robot "In-the-Wild": Category, Human Personality and Robot Identity
Self-disclosures can be valuable and sensitive parts of the human-robot interaction. This paper investigates how far human's tendency to self-disclose depends on the topic of interaction, individual's personality and perceived robot identity (i.e., human-, robot-or animal-like).

Leveraging explainability for understanding object descriptions in ambiguous 3D environments
For effective human-robot collaboration, it is crucial for robots to understand requests from users perceiving the three-dimensional space and ask reasonable follow-up questions when there are ambiguities.

Human Swarm Interaction: An Experimental Study of Two Types of Interaction with Foraging Swarms [PDF]
In this paper we present the first study of human-swarm interaction comparing two fundamental types of interaction, coined intermittent and environmental. These types are exemplified by two control methods, selection and beacon control, made available to

Visual Reconstruction and Localization-Based Robust Robotic 6-DoF Grasping in the Wild
The intelligent grasping expects that the manipulator has the ability to grasp objects with high degree of freedom in a wild (unstructured) environment. Due to low perception ability in handing targets and environments, most industrial robots are limited
