In recent years robots have become an important part of our day-to-day lives with various applications. Human-robot interaction creates a positive impact in the field of robotics to interact and communicate with the robots. Gesture…
We propose a set of communicative gestures and develop a gesture recognition system with the aim of facilitating more intuitive Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) through gestures. First, we propose a set of commands commonly used for…
Body language such as conversational gesture is a powerful way to ease communication. Conversational gestures do not only make a speech more lively but also contain semantic meaning that helps to stress important information in the…
Hand gesture recognition has been granted as one of the emerging fields in research today providing a natural way of communication between man and a machine. Gestures are some forms of body motions which a person expresses when doing a work…
The study of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) aims to create close and friendly communication between humans and robots. In the human-center HRI, an essential aspect of implementing a successful and effective HRI is building a natural and…
Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has become increasingly important as robots are being integrated into various aspects of daily life. One key aspect of HRI is gesture recognition, which allows robots to interpret and respond to human gestures…
Humans are able to convey different messages using only touch. Equipping robots with the ability to understand social touch adds another modality in which humans and robots can communicate. In this paper, we present a social gesture…
Gestures are a natural form of communication between humans and can also be leveraged for human-robot interaction. This work presents a gesture-based user interface for object selection using pointing and click gestures. An experiment with…
This paper proposes a novel approach to recognizing dynamic hand gestures facilitating seamless interaction between humans and robots. Here, each robot manipulator task is assigned a specific gesture. There may be several such tasks, hence,…
Human-to-Robot handovers are useful for many Human-Robot Interaction scenarios. It is important to recognize when a human intends to initiate handovers, so that the robot does not try to take objects from humans when a handover is not…
In this paper we introduce a novel approach that enables users to interact with a mobile robot in a natural manner. The proposed interaction system does not require any specific infrastructure or device, but relies on commonly utilized…
Automatic emotion recognition has become a trending research topic in the past decade. While works based on facial expressions or speech abound, recognizing affect from body gestures remains a less explored topic. We present a new…
Hand gestures recognition (HGR) is one of the main areas of research for the engineers, scientists and bioinformatics. HGR is the natural way of Human Machine interaction and today many researchers in the academia and industry are working…
This paper introduces GestLLM, an advanced system for human-robot interaction that enables intuitive robot control through hand gestures. Unlike conventional systems, which rely on a limited set of predefined gestures, GestLLM leverages…
We are approaching a future where social robots will progressively become widespread in many aspects of our daily lives, including education, healthcare, work, and personal use. All of such practical applications require that humans and…
One of the first and foremost non-verbal interactions that humans perform is a handshake. It has an impact on first impressions as touch can convey complex emotions. This makes handshaking an important skill for the repertoire of a social…
New and more natural human-robot interfaces are of crucial interest to the evolution of robotics. This paper addresses continuous and real-time hand gesture spotting, i.e., gesture segmentation plus gesture recognition. Gesture patterns are…
In human-robot collaboration, robot errors are inevitable -- damaging user trust, willingness to work together, and task performance. Prior work has shown that people naturally respond to robot errors socially and that in social…
With an increasing need for elderly and disability care, there is an increasing opportunity for intelligent and mobile devices such as robots to provide care and support solutions. In order to naturally assist and interact with humans, a…
Collaboration between human and robot requires effective modes of communication to assign robot tasks and coordinate activities. As communication can utilize different modalities, a multi-modal approach can be more expressive than single…
