First Responders' Perceptions of Semantic Information for Situational Awareness in Robot-Assisted Emergency Response
Tianshu Ruan, Zoe Betta, Georgios Tzoumas +2
This study investigates First Responders' (FRs) attitudes toward the use of semantic information and Situational Awareness (SA) in robotic systems during emergency operations. A st…
An Exploratory Study on Human-Robot Interaction using Semantics-based Situational Awareness
Tianshu Ruan, Aniketh Ramesh, Rustam Stolkin +1
In this paper, we investigate the impact of high-level semantics (evaluation of the environment) on Human-Robot Teams (HRT) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in the context of mobi…
An Exploratory Study on Crack Detection in Concrete through Human-Robot Collaboration
Junyeon Kim, Tianshu Ruan, Cesar Alan Contreras +1
Structural inspection in nuclear facilities is vital for maintaining operational safety and integrity. Traditional methods of manual inspection pose significant challenges, includi…
A Framework for Semantics-based Situational Awareness during Mobile Robot Deployments
Tianshu Ruan, Aniketh Ramesh, Hao Wang +6
Deployment of robots into hazardous environments typically involves a ``Human-Robot Teaming'' (HRT) paradigm, in which a human supervisor interacts with a remotely operating robot…
