A Socially Assistive Robot using Automated Planning in a Paediatric Clinical Setting
Alan Lindsay, Andres Ramirez-Duque, Ronald P. A. Petrick +1
We present an ongoing project that aims to develop a social robot to help children cope with painful and distressing medical procedures in a clinical setting. Our approach uses aut…
Towards Social HRI for Improving Children's Healthcare Experiences
Mary Ellen Foster, Ronald P. A. Petrick
This paper describes a new research project that aims to develop a social robot designed to help children cope with painful and distressing medical procedures in a clinical setting…
Affordance-Aware Handovers with Human Arm Mobility Constraints
Paola Ardón, Maria E. Cabrera, Èric Pairet +4
Reasoning about object handover configurations allows an assistive agent to estimate the appropriateness of handover for a receiver with different arm mobility capacities. While th…
Self-Assessment of Grasp Affordance Transfer
Paola Ardón, Èric Pairet, Ronald P. A. Petrick +2
Reasoning about object grasp affordances allows an autonomous agent to estimate the most suitable grasp to execute a task. While current approaches for estimating grasp affordances…
Affordances in Robotic Tasks -- A Survey
Paola Ardón, Èric Pairet, Katrin S. Lohan +2
Affordances are key attributes of what must be perceived by an autonomous robotic agent in order to effectively interact with novel objects. Historically, the concept derives from…
Learning Grasp Affordance Reasoning through Semantic Relations
Paola Ardón, Èric Pairet, Ronald P. A. Petrick +2
Reasoning about object affordances allows an autonomous agent to perform generalised manipulation tasks among object instances. While current approaches to grasp affordance estimat…
Reasoning on Grasp-Action Affordances
Paola Ardón, Èric Pairet, Ron Petrick +2
Artificial intelligence is essential to succeed in challenging activities that involve dynamic environments, such as object manipulation tasks in indoor scenes. Most of the state-o…
Challenges in Collaborative HRI for Remote Robot Teams
Helen Hastie, David A. Robb, José Lopes +6
Collaboration between human supervisors and remote teams of robots is highly challenging, particularly in high-stakes, distant, hazardous locations, such as off-shore energy platfo…
