— This article compares several parameterizations and motion models for improving the estimation of the nonlinear uncertainty distribution produced by robot motion. In previous w...
Abstract— A gesture-based interaction framework is presented for controlling mobile robots. This natural interaction paradigm has few physical requirements, and thus can be deplo...
—Endowing robots with a social interface is often costly and difficult. Virtual characters on the other hand are comparatively cheap and well equipped but suffer from other diffi...
This paper describes a usability study designed to assess ease of use, user satisfaction, and performance of a mobile robot mission specification system. The software under consid...
