Indoor navigation is a challenging activity for persons with disabilities, particularly, for those with low vision and visual impairment. Researchers have explored numerous solutions to resolve these challenges; however, several issues…
In a robotised warehouse a major issue is the safety of human operators in case of intervention in the work area of the robots. The current solution is to shut down every robot but it causes a loss of productivity, especially for large…
As robots increasingly operate in shared, safety critical environments, acting safely is no longer sufficient robots must also make their safety decisions intelligible to human collaborators. In human robot collaboration (HRC), behaviours…
Robot teleoperation gains great success in various situations, including chemical pollution rescue, disaster relief, and long-distance manipulation. In this article, we propose a virtual reality (VR) based robot teleoperation system to…
The increasing transition of human-robot interaction (HRI) context from controlled settings to dynamic, real-world public environments calls for enhanced adaptability in robotic systems. This can go beyond algorithmic navigation or…
This short paper presents first steps in the scientific part of the KIRETT project, which aims to improve first aid during rescue operations using a wearable device. The wearable is used for computer-aided situation recognition by means of…
Accurate positioning of underwater robots in confined environments is crucial for inspection and mapping tasks and is also a prerequisite for autonomous operations. Presently, there are no positioning systems available that are suited for…
In this paper, we propose a novel method for underwater robot-to-human communication using the motion of the robot as "body language". To evaluate this system, we develop simulated examples of the system's body language gestures, called…
Information from the sky is important for rescue activity in large-scale disaster or dangerous areas. Observation system using a balloon or an airplane has been studied as an information gathering system from the sky. A balloon observation…
Human-robot collaboration (HRC) is an emerging trend of robotics that promotes the co-presence and cooperation of humans and robots in common workspaces. Physical vicinity and interaction between humans and robots, combined with the…
The large number and scale of natural and man-made disasters have led to an urgent demand for technologies that enhance the safety and efficiency of search and rescue teams. Semi-autonomous rescue robots are beneficial, especially when…
Inculcating principles of environmental stewardship among the children and youth is needed urgently today for creating a sustainable future. This paper presents a model for promoting environment literacy in India using story telling based…
With humankind facing new and increasingly large-scale challenges in the medical and domestic spheres, automation of the service sector carries a tremendous potential for improved efficiency, quality, and safety of operations. Mobile…
Fixation of structural parts to concrete is a repetitive, heavy-duty, and time-consuming task that requires automation due to the lack of skilled construction workers. Previously developed automation techniques have not achieved the…
Aim of this paper is to provide a review of the state of the art in Search and Rescue (SAR) robotics. Suitable robotic applications in the SAR domain are described, and SAR-specific demands and requirements on the various components of a…
This paper develops a methodology for collaborative human-robot exploration that leverages implicit coordination. Most autonomous single- and multi-robot exploration systems require a remote operator to provide explicit guidance to the…
Nowadays many telescopes around the world are automated and some networks of robotic telescopes are active or planned as shown by the lists we draw up. Such equipment could be used for the training of students and for science in the…
Humanoid robots have apparently similar body structure like human beings. Due to their technical design, they are sharing the same workspace with humans. They are placed to clean things, to assist old age people, to entertain us and most…
To facilitate the advancement of research in healthcare robots without human intervention or commands, we introduce the Autonomous Helping Challenge, along with a crowd-sourcing large-scale dataset. The goal is to create healthcare robots…
Blueprint of an in-pipe climbing robot that works with sharp transmissions to study complex line relationships. Standard wheeled/happening pipe climbing robots tend to slide when exploring pipe turns. Instruments help achieve a very…
