However, the problem arises that a telepresence robot system does not allow the volume of the user's utterance to be adjusted precisely, because it does not consider varying conditions in the sound environment, such as noise. In addition, when talking with several people in remote location, the user would like to be able to change the speaker volume freely according to the situation. In a previous study, a telepresence robot was proposed that has a function that automatically regulates the volume of the user's utterance. However, the manner in which the user exploits this function in a practical situation needs to be investigated. We propose a telepresence conversation robot system called “TeleCoBot.” TeleCoBot includes an operator's user interface, through which the volume of the user's utterance can be automatically regulated according to the distance between the robot and the conversation partner and the noise level in the robot's environment. We conducted a case study, in which the participants played a game using TeleCoBot's interface. The results of the study reveal the manner in which the participants used TeleCoBot and the additional factors that the system requires.","PeriodicalId":119467,"journal":{"name":"2015 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125884777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, a user action model using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) is proposed to encapsulate the probabilistic and nonlinear relationships among user action, state of the environment and user intention. Moreover, exploiting the analytical tractability of the predictive distribution allows a sequential Bayesian process for user intention estimation to take place. The proposed scheme is validated on data obtained in an indoor setting with an instrumented robotic wheelchair augmented with sensorial feedback from the environment and user commands as well as proprioceptive information from the actual vehicle, achieving accuracy in near real-time of ~80%. The initial results are promising and indicating the suitability of the process to infer user driving behaviors within the context of ambulatory robots designed to provide assistance to users with mobility impairments while carrying out regular daily activities.","PeriodicalId":119467,"journal":{"name":"2015 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127220415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The speaker was always a child; the listener was a Human InterActor or a Robot InterActor, i.e.,. a small robot which reacts to speech expression by nodding only. Unconscious nonverbal emotional expression associated with physiological data (heart rate) as well as conscious process related to behavioral data (number of nouns and verbs in addition reported feelings) were considered. The results showed that 1) the heart rate was higher for children aged 6 years old than for children aged 9 years old when the InterActor was the robot; 2) the number of words (nouns and verbs) expressed by both age groups was higher when the InterActor was a human. It was lower for the children aged 6 years than for the children aged 9 years. Even if a difference of consciousness exists amongst the two groups, everything happens as if the InterActor Robot would allow children to elaborate a multivariate equation encoding and conceptualizing within their brain, and externalizing into unconscious nonverbal emotional behavior i.e., automatic activity. The Human InterActor would allow children to externalize the elaborated equation into conscious verbal behavior (words), i.e., controlled activity. Unconscious and conscious processes would not only depend on natural environments but also on artificial environments such as robots.","PeriodicalId":119467,"journal":{"name":"2015 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121043249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
