(2019) : An Exploratory Study on Proxemics Preferences of Humans in Accordance with Attributes of Service Robots: 2019 28th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN): 2019 28th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN): New Delhi, India: IEEE, S. 1-7
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/RO-MAN46459.2019.8956297 Abstract: Service robots that possess social interactive capabilities are vital to cater to the demand in emerging domains of robotic applications. A service robot frequently needs to interact with users when performing service tasks. The comfortability of users depends on the human-robot proxemics during these interactions. Hence, a service robot should be capable of maintaining proper proxemics that improves the comfort of users. The proxemics preferences of users might depend on diverse attributes of a robot, such as emotional state, noise level, and physical appearance. Therefore, it is vital to gain a better understanding of a robot's attributes which influence human-robot proxemics behavior. This paper contributes to an exploratory study to analyze the effects on human-robot proxemics preferences due to a robot's attributes; facial and vocal emotions, level of internal noises, and the physical appearance. Four sub-studies have been conducted to gather the required human-robot proxemics data. The gathered data have been analyzed through statistical tests. The test statistics reveal that facial and vocal emotions, internal noise level, and the physical appearance of a robot have significant effects on proxemics preferences of humans. The outcomes of this exploratory study would be useful in designing and developing human-robot proxemics strategies of a service robot that would enhance social interaction.

(2011): Multimodal integration processes in plan-based service robot control. In: Tsinghua Science and Technology 16 (1), S. 1-6. DOI: 10.1016/S1007-0214(11)70001-3
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S1007-0214(11)70001-3 Abstract: Cross-modal integration processes are essential for service robots to reliably perceive relevant parts of the partially known unstructured environment. We demonstrate how multimodal integration on different abstraction levels leads to reasonable behavior that would be difficult to achieve with unimodal approaches. Sensing and acting modalities are composed to multimodal robot skills via a fuzzy multisensor fusion approach. Single modalities constitute basic robot skills that can dynamically be composed to appropriate behavior by symbolic planning. Furthermore, multimodal integration is exploited to answer relevant queries about the partially known environment. All these approaches are successfully implemented and tested on our mobile service robot platform TASER.

(2010): Towards safety in human robot interaction. In: International Journal of Social Robotics 2 (3), S. 217-219. DOI: 10.1007/s12369-010-0061-z
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12369-010-0061-z Abstract: Many new application areas are emerging where robots will be required to co-operate with or assist humans. This means that they are sharing the same work-space or they are working in our ‘personal’ space. The fundamental resultant issue of working in co-located space is that of safety. In service and social robotics, a major focus has therefore to be safe and reliable operation. This special issue covers a wide range of topics on safe human-robot interaction (HRI) in social and service robotics. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
