Nowadays, robots are increasingly integrated into our daily life, from industrial Human-Robot collaboration settings (Matheson et al., 2019) to robots assigned to household chores or companion robots that are expected to emotionally and cognitively understand and interact with their users. They are transitioning from being seen as simple tools to being seen as interactive collaborators. … Continue reading INFLUENCE OF KINESTHETIC TEACHING (KT) ON HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION

Understanding, perceiving and interacting
In the emerging field of personal robotics, the path to widespread adoption faces significant challenges. While personal robots offer immense potential for assisting individuals in both domestic and public environments, their success depends on effective human-robot interaction (HRI). Central to this interaction is the need for personalised communication styles tailored to individual user preferences and … Continue reading Understanding, perceiving and interacting
The Path to Transparent Human-Robot Collaboration
In an age where robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives, the quest for seamless human-robot interaction (HRI) has taken centre stage. The essence of this journey lies not just in enhancing the physical prowess of robots but in bridging the communication divide, enabling these machines to interact … Continue reading The Path to Transparent Human-Robot Collaboration
Robot autonomy and user involvement, the two key facets of robot adaptation?
In my first article in the blog from PERSEO project, I have introduced my project distinguishing personalization from customization. As a reminder, personalization is a system-driven sort of adaptation where the robot autonomously adapts to its user. Customization is a user-driven adaptation process where the user adapts the robot to their own preferences and needs. … Continue reading Robot autonomy and user involvement, the two key facets of robot adaptation?
Anticipating the Future: How AI Can Revolutionize Human-Robot Collaboration
In our ever-evolving world, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our daily lives continues to shape our future. One fascinating area of AI research is Long-Term Action Anticipation, a concept that has the potential to enhance human-robot collaboration for better proactive robot behavior. Imagine a world where robots not only understand what we're doing … Continue reading Anticipating the Future: How AI Can Revolutionize Human-Robot Collaboration
Unlocking the future of human-robot collaboration: understanding human intentions
In recent years, research in robotics has made remarkable strides, capturing our imaginations with the promise of machines working alongside humans to enhance our daily lives. One of the key advancements that is driving this innovation is Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), a field dedicated to improving the way robots assist us in various tasks. But what's … Continue reading Unlocking the future of human-robot collaboration: understanding human intentions

Societies are evolving, and robots too.
Modern societies have spun the technology wheel at impressive velocities in the last decades. We dismissed cabled phones and noisy 56k modems in my opinion without proper grief. There was always a new, shiny object to replace the old one. New functionalities, new features and improved hardware led technology closer to normal people. The underline … Continue reading Societies are evolving, and robots too.
