A Multi-Operator Mixed-Reality Interface for Multi-Robot Control and Coordination: Co-Located and Private Workspace Collaboration
Omotoye Shamsudeen Adekoya, Antonio Sgorbissa, Carmine Tommaso Recchiuto
Multi-operator control of robot teams requires not only access to the same mission information, but also mechanisms for maintaining shared awareness and preventing conflicting inte…
Enhancing Worker Safety in Harbors Using Quadruped Robots
Zoe Betta, Davide Corongiu, Carmine Tommaso Recchiuto +1
Infrastructure inspection is becoming increasingly relevant in the field of robotics due to its significant impact on ensuring workers' safety. The harbor environment presents vari…
Online Object-Level Semantic Mapping for Quadrupeds in Real-World Environments
Emad Razavi, Angelo Bratta, João Carlos Virgolino Soares +2
We present an online semantic object mapping system for a quadruped robot operating in real indoor environments, turning sensor detections into named objects in a global map. Durin…
HORUS: A Mixed Reality Interface for Managing Teams of Mobile Robots
Omotoye Shamsudeen Adekoya, Antonio Sgorbissa, Carmine Tommaso Recchiuto
Mixed Reality (MR) interfaces have been extensively explored for controlling mobile robots, but there is limited research on their application to managing teams of robots. This pap…
Designing Empathetic Companions: Exploring Personality, Emotion, and Trust in Social Robots
Alice Nardelli, Antonio Sgorbissa, Carmine Tommaso Recchiuto
How should a companion robot behave? In this research, we present a cognitive architecture based on a tailored personality model to investigate the impact of robotic personalities…
EmoACT: a Framework to Embed Emotions into Artificial Agents Based on Affect Control Theory
Francesca Corrao, Alice Nardelli, Jennifer Renoux +1
As robots and artificial agents become increasingly integrated into daily life, enhancing their ability to interact with humans is essential. Emotions, which play a crucial role in…
Toward a Universal Concept of Artificial Personality: Implementing Robotic Personality in a Kinova Arm
Alice Nardelli, Lorenzo Landolfi, Dario Pasquali +3
The fundamental role of personality in shaping interactions is increasingly being exploited in robotics. A carefully designed robotic personality has been shown to improve several…
Moderating Group Conversation Dynamics with Social Robots
Lucrezia Grassi, Carmine Tommaso Recchiuto, Antonio Sgorbissa
This research investigates the impact of social robot participation in group conversations and assesses the effectiveness of various addressing policies. The study involved 300 par…
Labeling Sentences with Symbolic and Deictic Gestures via Semantic Similarity
Ariel Gjaci, Carmine Tommaso Recchiuto, Antonio Sgorbissa
Co-speech gesture generation on artificial agents has gained attention recently, mainly when it is based on data-driven models. However, end-to-end methods often fail to generate c…
Enhancing LLM-Based Human-Robot Interaction with Nuances for Diversity Awareness
Lucrezia Grassi, Carmine Tommaso Recchiuto, Antonio Sgorbissa
This paper presents a system for diversity-aware autonomous conversation leveraging the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). The system adapts to diverse populations and i…
Efficient Multi-robot Active SLAM
Muhammad Farhan Ahmed, Matteo Maragliano, Vincent Frémont +1
Autonomous exploration in unknown environments remains a fundamental challenge in robotics, particularly for applications such as search and rescue, industrial inspection, and plan…
Efficient Frontier Management for Collaborative Active SLAM
Muhammad Farhan Ahmed, Matteo Maragliano, Vincent FremontCarmine +2
In autonomous robotics, a critical challenge lies in developing robust solutions for Active Collaborative SLAM, wherein multiple robots collaboratively explore and map an unknown e…
Diversity-aware social robots meet people: beyond context-aware embodied AI
Carmine Recchiuto, Antonio Sgorbissa
The article introduces the concept of "diversity-aware" robotics and discusses the need to develop computational models to embed robots with diversity-awareness: that is, robots ca…
Sustainable Cloud Services for Verbal Interaction with Embodied Agents
Lucrezia Grassi, Carmine Tommaso Recchiuto, Antonio Sgorbissa
