Robot assistants which support the worker in production environments or help in performing domestic chores have always been a dream of mankind. -
Coordinating the Motion of a Human and a Robot in a Crowded, Natural Environment
In this paper we describe the problem of coordinating the motion of a mobile robot with a moving guide in dynamic, continuously changing... -
Touch: The Intuitive Type of Human and Robot Interaction
The mobile service robots will share their workspaces e.g. offices, hospitals or households with humans. Thus a direct contact between man and... -
A Cooperative Robotic Assistant for Human Environments
CoRA is a robotic assistant whose task is to collaborate with a human operator on simple manipulation or handling tasks. Its sensory channels... -
Behavior Generation for Anthropomorphic Robots by means of Dynamical Systems
This article describes the current state of our research on anthropomorphic robots. Our aim is to make the reader familiar with the two basic... -
Self-Tuning Fuzzy Rule Bases with Belief Structure
A fuzzy rule-based evidential reasoning (FURBER) approach has been proposed recently, where a fuzzy rule-base designed on the basis of a belief... -
