Understanding Engagement and Intrusiveness in Assistive Human-Robot Interaction Using Individual Traits
Valerio Bo, Lavinia Hriscu, Alberto Sanfeliu +1
Robot assistance is particularly crucial in unfamiliar tasks, where users must understand task requirements while coordinating with the robot. Previous research offers mixed eviden…
When Should Robots Intervene? Balancing Engagement and Intrusiveness in Human-Robot Interaction
Lavinia Hriscu, Valerio Bo, Alberto Sanfeliu +1
Designing effective Human-Robot Interaction in task-oriented settings requires carefully balancing user engagement with socially acceptable levels of robot intrusiveness. In this p…
Visual Proactivity: Enhancing Human-Robot Collaboration Through Intent Communication
Valerio Bo, Edison Bejarano, Anaís Garrell +1
As robots transition from performing repetitive tasks to collaborating with humans, understanding human intent becomes crucial to effective interaction. Anticipation enables robots…
HEXAR: a Hierarchical Explainability Architecture for Robots
Tamlin Love, Ferran Gebellí, Pradip Pramanick +5
As robotic systems become increasingly complex, the need for explainable decision-making becomes critical. Existing explainability approaches in robotics typically either focus on…
Personalised Explanations in Long-term Human-Robot Interactions
Ferran Gebellí, Anaís Garrell, Jan-Gerrit Habekost +3
In the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), a fundamental challenge is to facilitate human understanding of robots. The emerging domain of eXplainable HRI (XHRI) investigates me…
Enhancing Context-Aware Human Motion Prediction for Efficient Robot Handovers
Gerard Gómez-Izquierdo, Javier Laplaza, Alberto Sanfeliu +1
Accurate human motion prediction (HMP) is critical for seamless human-robot collaboration, particularly in handover tasks that require real-time adaptability. Despite the high accu…
A Survey on Socially Aware Robot Navigation: Taxonomy and Future Challenges
Phani Teja Singamaneni, Pilar Bachiller-Burgos, Luis J. Manso +4
Socially aware robot navigation is gaining popularity with the increase in delivery and assistive robots. The research is further fueled by a need for socially aware navigation ski…
Continual Learning of Hand Gestures for Human-Robot Interaction
Xavier Cucurull, Anaís Garrell
In this paper, we present an efficient method to incrementally learn to classify static hand gestures. This method allows users to teach a robot to recognize new symbols in an incr…
Humans Social Relationship Classification during Accompaniment
Oscar Castro, Ely Repiso, Anais Garrell +1
This paper presents the design of deep learning architectures which allow to classify the social relationship existing between two people who are walking in a side-by-side formatio…
Body Gesture Recognition to Control a Social Robot
Javier Laplaza, Joan Jaume Oliver, Ramón Romero +2
In this work, we propose a gesture based language to allow humans to interact with robots using their body in a natural way. We have created a new gesture detection model using neu…
Initial Test of "BabyRobot" Behaviour on a Teleoperated Toy Substitution: Improving the Motor Skills of Toddlers
Eric Canas, Alba M. G. Garcia, Anais Garrell +1
This article introduces "Baby Robot", a robot aiming to improve motor skills of babies and toddlers. Authors developed a car-like toy that moves autonomously using reinforcement le…
Human-robot Collaborative Navigation Search using Social Reward Sources
Marc Dalmasso, Anaís Garrell, Pablo Jiménez +1
This paper proposes a Social Reward Sources (SRS) design for a Human-Robot Collaborative Navigation (HRCN) task: human-robot collaborative search. It is a flexible approach capable…
