Enabling Role-Reversible Human-Robot Interaction by Leveraging Standardized Tools for Provider-Receiver Interactions

NSH 3305

Abstract: Developing 'social intelligence' for assistive robots to seamlessly interact with humans remains an open research challenge. However, socially assistive robots typically engage in types of interactions that already exist between humans, which makes models of human-human interactions useful to inform the design of robot social behaviors. In particular, in applications such as healthcare, therapy [...]

As part of a multi-billion-dollar agenda, the measurement of radioactivity is required for the safe disposal of residual Uranium in piping. Manual techniques have proven too approximate, [...]
