Evaluating the Impact of Adaptive Extended Reality on Human-Robot Interaction Across the Reality-Virtuality Continuum
Carl Tornberg, Alicia Torck, Lotfi El Hafi +1
As populations in developed countries age and labor shortages intensify, Cybernetic Avatars (CAs) are proposed to extend human capabilities through robotic embodiments, requiring e…
Comparative Evaluation of an XR Pen-based Control Interface for Semi-Autonomous Mobile Robot Navigation in Service Environments
Alicia Torc, Carl Tornberg, Eric Piette +5
Service robots remain difficult to deploy in domestic environments, partly because fully autonomous operation is not yet reliable in unpredictable surroundings, and partly because…
Public Evaluation on Potential Social Impacts of Fully Autonomous Cybernetic Avatars for Physical Support in Daily-Life Environments: Large-Scale Demonstration and Survey at Avatar Land
Lotfi El Hafi, Kazuma Onishi, Shoichi Hasegawa +18
Cybernetic avatars (CAs) are key components of an avatar-symbiotic society, enabling individuals to overcome physical limitations through virtual agents and robotic assistants. Whi…
Object Instance Retrieval in Assistive Robotics: Leveraging Fine-Tuned SimSiam with Multi-View Images Based on 3D Semantic Map
Taichi Sakaguchi, Akira Taniguchi, Yoshinobu Hagiwara +3
Robots that assist humans in their daily lives should be able to locate specific instances of objects in an environment that match a user's desired objects. This task is known as i…
Real-world Instance-specific Image Goal Navigation: Bridging Domain Gaps via Contrastive Learning
Taichi Sakaguchi, Akira Taniguchi, Yoshinobu Hagiwara +3
Improving instance-specific image goal navigation (InstanceImageNav), which locates the identical object in a real-world environment from a query image, is essential for robotic sy…
Active Exploration based on Information Gain by Particle Filter for Efficient Spatial Concept Formation
Akira Taniguchi, Yoshiki Tabuchi, Tomochika Ishikawa +3
Autonomous robots need to learn the categories of various places by exploring their environments and interacting with users. However, preparing training datasets with linguistic in…
Map completion from partial observation using the global structure of multiple environmental maps
Yuki Katsumata, Akinori Kanechika, Akira Taniguchi +3
Using the spatial structure of various indoor environments as prior knowledge, the robot would construct the map more efficiently. Autonomous mobile robots generally apply simultan…
Autonomous Planning Based on Spatial Concepts to Tidy Up Home Environments with Service Robots
Akira Taniguchi, Shota Isobe, Lotfi El Hafi +2
Tidy-up tasks by service robots in home environments are challenging in robotics applications because they involve various interactions with the environment. In particular, robots…
