Culturally aware Planning and Execution of Robot Actions

Ali Abdul Khaliq, Uwe Köckemann, Federico Pecora, Alessandro Saffiotti, Barbara Bruno, Carmine Tommaso Recchiuto +3

IROS 2018poster

The way in which humans behave, speak and interact is deeply influenced by their culture. For example, greeting is done differently in France, in Sweden or in Japan; and the average interpersonal distance changes from one cultural group to the other. In order to successfully coexist with humans, rob…

Point-to-point safe navigation of a mobile robot using stigmergy and RFID technology

Ali Abdul Khaliq, Federico Pecora, Alessandro Saffiotti

IROS 2016poster

Reliable autonomous navigation is still a challenging problem for robots with simple and inexpensive hardware. A key difficulty is the need to maintain an internal map of the environment and an accurate estimate of the robot's position in this map. Recently, a stigmergic approach has been proposed i…

Stigmergy at work: Planning and navigation for a service robot on an RFID floor

Ali Abdul Khaliq, Alessandro Saffiotti

ICRA 2015poster

Many species in nature store information in the environment to facilitate the performance of tasks and enable cooperation. This principle is known as stigmergy. Stigmergy has been widely studied in robotic systems, but so far mostly in simulation or in laboratory proofs of concept. In this paper, we…
