Scott Forer, Santosh Balajee Banisetty, Logan Yliniemi, Monica Nicolescu, David Feil-Seifer

IROS 2018poster

For socially assistive robots (SAR)to be accepted into complex and stochastic human environments, it is important to account for subtle social norms. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to socially-aware navigation (SAN)which garnered an immense interest in the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI)co…

Context-based intent understanding using an Activation Spreading architecture

Mohammad Taghi Saffar, Mircea Nicolescu, Monica Nicolescu, Banafsheh Rekabdar

IROS 2015poster

In this paper, we propose a new approach for recognizing intentions of humans by observing their activities with an RGB-D camera. Activities and goals are modeled as a distributed network of inter-connected nodes in an Activation Spreading Network (ASN). Inspired by a formalism in hierarchical task…
