— Evolutionary optimization of a gait for a bipedal robot has been studied, combining structural and parametric modifications of the system responsible for generating the gait. ...
— We present a learning mechanism, Socially Guided Exploration, in which a robot learns new tasks through a combination of self-exploration and social interaction. The system’s...
Longitudinal studies of human-virtual agent interaction are expensive and time consuming to conduct. We present a new concept and tool for conducting such studies—the virtual la...
An ongoing issue in human robot interaction (HRI) is how people and robots communicate with one another. While there is considerable work in real-time human-robot communication, f...
