Research in linguistics shows that non-verbal cues, such as gestures, play a crucial role in spoken discourse. For example, speakers perform hand gestures to indicate topic shifts, helping listeners identify transitions in discourse. In…
In order to address the limitations of gestural capabilities in physical robots, researchers in Virtual, Augmented, Mixed Reality Human-Robot Interaction (VAM-HRI) have been using augmented-reality visualizations that increase robot…
Efforts towards endowing robots with the ability to speak have benefited from recent advancements in natural language processing, in particular large language models. However, current language models are not fully incremental, as their…
The swift advancement of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies necessitates new standards for developing human-drone interaction (HDI) interfaces. Most interfaces for HDI, especially first-person view (FPV) goggles, limit the…
Positive human-perception of robots is critical to achieving sustained use of robots in shared environments. One key factor affecting human-perception of robots are their sounds, especially the consequential sounds which robots (as…
Humans sense of distance depends on the integration of multi sensory cues. The incoming visual luminance, auditory pitch and tactile vibration could all contribute to the ability of distance judgement. This ability can be enhanced if the…
There have been incredible advancements in robotics and spoken dialogue systems (SDSs) over the past few years, yet we still don't find social robots in public spaces like train stations, shopping malls, or hospital waiting rooms. In this…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can provide wireless access services to terrestrial users without geographical limitations and will become an essential part of the future communication system. However, the openness of wireless channels and…
