Transferring Spatial Perception Between Robots Operating In A Shared Workspace
"... We use a Katana robotic arm to teach an iCub humanoid robot how to perceive the location of the objects it sees. To do this, the Katana positions an object within the shared workspace, and tells the iCub where it has placed it. While the iCub moves it observes the object, and a neural network then ..."

Behavioral theories and the neurophysiology of reward,
- Annu. Rev. Psychol.
, 2006
"... ■ Abstract The functions of rewards are based primarily on their effects on behavior and are less directly governed by the physics and chemistry of input events as in sensory systems. Therefore, the investigation of neural mechanisms underlying reward functions requires behavioral theories that can ..."

'." (The Odyssey, Book VII, 800 BC). Despite these suggestive words, Homer's description hardly fits the common-sensical perceptions of reward, which largely belong to one of two categories. People often consider a reward as a particular object or event that one receives for having done something well
A MEETING OF MINDS ACROSS THE WORKSPACE:
"... This thesis reports an exploratiori:of how the use and construction of external representations through methods: of signalling and conversational grounding, support the sharing of ideas for spatial design tasks and how that support changes as a function of access to a shared works pace, external rep ..."

SPATIAL PERCEPTION AND ROBOT OPERATION: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VISUAL SPATIAL ABILITY AND PERFORMANCE UNDER DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT AND TELEOPERATION
, 2010
"... This dissertation investigated the relationship between the spatial perception abilities of operators and robot operation under direct-line-of-sight and teleoperation viewing conditions. This study was an effort to determine if spatial ability testing may be a useful tool in the selection of human-r ..."

Task Transfer by a Developmental Robot
"... Abstract—Scaffolding is a process of transferring learned skills to new and more complex tasks through arranged experience in open-ended development. In this paper, we propose a developmental learning architecture that enables a robot to transfer skills acquired in early learning settings to later m ..."

Towards Perceptual Shared Autonomy for Robotic Mobile Manipulation
"... Abstract — Reliability and availability are major concerns for autonomous systems. A personal robot has to solve complex tasks, such as loading a dishwasher or folding laundry, which are very difficult to automate robustly. In order for a robot to perform better in those applications, it needs to be ..."

to be capable of accepting help from a human operator. Shared autonomy is a system model based on human–robot dialogue. This work aims at bridging the gap between full human control and full autonomy for tasks in the domain of personal robotics. One of the hardest problems for personal robotic systems
Collaboration in human-robot teams
- In Proc. of the AIAA 1st Intelligent Systems Technical Conference
, 2004
"... Many new applications for robots require them to work alongside people as capable members of human-robot teams. These include—in the long term—robots for homes, hospitals, and offices, but already exist in more advanced settings, such as space exploration. The work reported in this paper is part of ..."

, perceptive disorientation, sensory noise, and control delays make teleoperation cognitively exhausting even for a highly skilled operator. Control delays in long range teleoperation also make shoulder-to-shoulder teamwork difficult. These issues motivate our work to make robots collaborating with people more
Scaling Laws for Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: an Information Theoretic Approach
- Foundations and Trends in Networking
, 2006
"... In recent years there has been significant and increasing interest in ad hoc wireless networks. The design, analysis and deployment of such wireless networks necessitate a fundamental understanding of how much information transfer they can support, as well as what the appropriate architectures and p ..."

, 2010
"... Abstract—Robots should be capable of interacting in a cooperative and adaptive manner with their human counterparts in open-ended tasks that can change in real-time. An important aspect of the robot behavior will be the ability to acquire new knowledge of the cooperative tasks by observing and inter ..."

For execution, composite actions and plans are shown to be learnt on one robot
