  1. 1. Robots Beyond Borders : The Role of Social Robots in Spoken Second Language Practice

    Författare :Ronald Cumbal; Olov Engwall; Tony Belpaeme; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Conversations; gaze; backchannels; multi-party; accent; culture; Samtal; blick; återkoppling; gruppdynamik; brytning; kultur; Speech and Music Communication; Tal- och musikkommunikation;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates how social robots can support adult second language (L2) learners in improving conversational skills. It recognizes the challenges inherent in adult L2 learning, including increased cognitive demands and the unique motivations driving adult education. LÄS MER

  3. 2. SOCIAL ROBOTS / SOCIAL COGNITION : Robots' Gaze Effects in Older and Younger Adults

    Författare :Lucas Morillo-Mendez; Oscar Martinez Mozos; Martien Schrooten; Agnieszka Wykowska; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation presents advances in social human-robot interaction (HRI) and human social cognition through a series of experiments in which humans face a robot. A predominant approach to studying the human factor in HRI consists of placing the human in the role of a user to explore potential factors affecting the acceptance or usability of a robot. LÄS MER

  4. 3. On Making Robots Proactive

    Författare :Jasmin Grosinger; Alessandro Saffiotti; Federico Pecora; Fiora Pirri; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proactive robots; Goal Reasoning; Knowledge representation and reasoning; Fuzzy logic;

    Sammanfattning : The question addressed in this thesis is: Can we make robots proactive? Proactivity is understood as self-initiated, anticipatory action. This entails the ability to generate own goals and pursue them. Our work is based on the assumption that proactivity makes robots more acceptable in human-inhabited environments. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A component framework for autonomous mobile robots

    Författare :Anders Orebäck; Henrik I. Christiensen; Iiiah R. Nourbakhsh; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datorteknik; robotics; mobile robots; autonomour robots; component-based software engineering; software architectures; Datorteknik; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The major problem of robotics research today is that there is a barrier to entry into robotics research. Robot system software is complex and a researcher that wishes to concentrate on one particular problem often needs to learn about details, dependencies and intricacies of the complete system.

  7. 5. The Useworthiness of Robots for People with Physical Disabilities

    Författare :Håkan Eftring; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Page-turning; End-effector; RAID; Manus; Independence; Needs Analysis; Simplified Robot Use; Automatic Grasping; Case Studies.; Ethics; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; rehabilitation; revalidation; kinesitherapy; Physical medicine; Rehabilitation Robotics; Robots; Physical Disabilities; Useworthiness; Usability;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with robotics and the new possibilities it offers people with physical disabilities. I focus on the user and the use of the technology and, in particular, on what makes robotic aids worth using - useworthiness as distinguished from usability. LÄS MER
