In this work, pragmatic argument is adopted to make the elderly realize that a choice beneficial for health is really worthwhile, such as eating suitable fruits. Based on this concept, an adaptive recommendation dialogue system through pragmatic argumentation is proposed. There are three objectives in this system. First, a knowledge base for pragmatic argument construction is built, which concerns not only the effect of a decision but also the reason for the effect. Secondly, the robot is endowed with the ability to do recommendation that adapts to different states of the elder, and the recommendation is determined based on the integration of both the robot's and the elder's preference for different perspectives so that the robot knows how to reach a compromise with the elder. Lastly, through learning about the elder's preference for perspectives in conversation, the robot will try to select such a perspective to construct arguments that the elder can be more easily convinced to accept its recommendation. We invited 21 volunteers to interact with the robot. The experimental result has proved that the recommendation system has potential to affect the decision making of the elderly and help him/her pursue a healthier life.","PeriodicalId":134777,"journal":{"name":"2017 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131016961","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}

In particular, we investigated how people have responded to the emergence of highly humanlike robots (e.g., Bina48) in contrast to those with more prototypically-“robotic” appearances (e.g., Asimo), coding the frequency at which the uncanny valley versus fears of replacement and/or a “technology takeover” arise in online discourse based on the robot's appearance. Here we found that, consistent with Masahiro Mori's theory of the uncanny valley, people's commentary reflected an aversion to highly humanlike robots. Correspondingly, the frequency of uncanny valley-related commentary was significantly higher in response to highly humanlike robots relative to those of more prototypical appearances. Independent of the robots' human similarity, we further observed a moderate correlation to exist between people's explicit fears of a “technology takeover” and their emotional responding towards robots. Finally, through the course of our investigation, we encountered a third and rather disturbing trend — namely, the unabashed sexualization of female-gendered robots. In exploring the frequency at which this sexualization manifests in the online commentary, we found it to exceed that of both the uncanny valley and fears of robot sentience/replacement combined. In sum, these findings help to shed light on the relevance of the uncanny valley “in the wild” and further, they help situate it with respect to other design challenges for HRI.","PeriodicalId":134777,"journal":{"name":"2017 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131787834","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}

Teleoperation operators often work with a team of robots to improve task effectiveness. Maintaining awareness of where robot team members are, relative to oneself, is important for team effectiveness, such as for deciding which robot may help with a task, may be best suited to investigate a point of interest, or to determine where one should move next. We explore the use of established interface techniques from mobile computing for supporting teleoperators in maintaining peripheral awareness of robot team members' relative locations. We evaluate the nontrivial adoption of these techniques to teleoperation, comparing to an overview mini-map base case. Our results indicate that in-feed embedded indicators perform comparatively well to mini-maps, while being less obtrusive, indicating that they are a viable alternative for teleoperation interfaces.","PeriodicalId":134777,"journal":{"name":"2017 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127638136","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 create an easy-to-use approach for frequent updates, we propose a system to utilize simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), which is robot mapping technology. In traditional methods, special machines or many manual operations cause higher mapping costs. The existing mobile mapping method (MMS) requires manual anchoring point measurement for ensuring accuracy. To solve this problem, we propose a 3D map optimization method by using road information from the standard map issued by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. From the SLAM result, the road center line of 3D shape map is estimated by assuming the car is running on road. Pose graph optimization between the estimated road center line and that of the standard map corrects cumulative distortion of the SLAM result. The experimental results of on-vehicle 3D LIDAR observation show that the proposed system could correct the cumulative distortion of the SLAM results and automatically generate a large-scale 3D map assuring reference accuracy.","PeriodicalId":134777,"journal":{"name":"2017 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"305 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114275214","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}

However, it is difficult to get the activity of deep layer muscles from an sEMG. The pronation and supination of the forearm are caused by the activities of deep layer muscles. These motions are important in grasping and manipulating daily objects. We think it is possible to accurately recognize hand motions from the activity of the deep layer muscles using the forearm deformation. Forearm deformation is caused by a complex motion of the surface and deep layer muscles, tendons, and bones. In this study, we propose a novel hand motion recognition method based on measuring forearm deformation with a distance sensor array. The distance sensor array is designed based on a 3D model of the forearm. It can measure small deformations because the shape of the array is designed to fit the neutral position of the forearm. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to recognize seven types of hand motion. Two types of features are extracted for the recognition based on the time difference of the forearm deformation. Using the proposed method, we perform hand motion recognition experiments. The experimental results showed that the proposed method correctly recognized hand motions caused by the activity of both surface and deep layer muscles, including the pronation and supination of the forearm. Moreover, the hand opening of small deformation motions was correctly recognized.","PeriodicalId":134777,"journal":{"name":"2017 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"159 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114567376","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}
