Abstract: Translating human intent into robot commands is crucial for the future of service robots in an aging society. Existing human‒robot interaction (HRI) systems relying on gestures or verbal ...

Abstract: Natural language-driven robot navigation has the potential to make human-robot interactions more intuitive. This paper presents an innovative approach that integrates a Large Language Model ...

Robots operating in human-centric or hazardous environments must proactively anticipate and mitigate dangers beyond basic obstacle detection. Traditional navigation systems often depend on static maps ...

Abstract: Ensuring the robustness and reliability of robotic navigation systems is critical for their deployment in dynamic real-world environments. While some developers employ simulation-based ...

Abstract: The previous work developed a language learning system with human-like robots utilizing self-determination theory (SDT) to enhance student’ learning engagement and proficiency. Initial ...

Abstract: For an intelligent large scale robot system, the rea-soning process of each robot should interact with its surrounding environment, cooperate with its nearby comrades and react to the ...

Abstract: In recent years, programming education has become a mandatory component of the curriculum in elementary, junior high, and high schools. In this context, numerous educational institutions are ...

Abstract: Natural language understanding is crucial for home robots to help people in their daily lives. However, existing home robots mainly rely on keyword matching to understand explicit commands, ...

Abstract: This study presents the design, modelling, and experimental validation of a lightweight hybrid aerial-ground robot developed for extended-duration inspection and monitoring tasks. The ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a Visual-Speech-Text Large Language Model framework for Human-Robot Interaction (VSTLLM HRI). By designing a Modality Language Model (MLM), the framework achieves a ...

Abstract: Patrol robots in hospital wards are expected not only to ensure the safety of their movements, but also to perform gait measurement as part of their monitoring functions. In this study, we ...

Abstract: Sign language is an essential communication tool, however, it can be highly challenging for non-deaf students to learn. We propose a Pepper robot based sign language teaching assistant ...
