This work presents a robust person tracking and re-identification system designed for Human-Robot Interaction applications. The approach introduces the One-Class Body-Part (OCBP) Transformer, trained online to model interactions among body-part features and construct a robust target representation. …
The ability to synchronize expectations among human-robot teams and understand discrepancies between expectations and reality is essential for human-robot collaboration scenarios. To ensure this, human activities and intentions must be interpreted quickly and reliably by the robot using various moda…
The handover of objects is a fundamental task in robot-human interaction. The nature of the handover can be varied by adjusting various parameters in order to achieve a human-like interaction. In this paper the final handover configuration is examined and analyzed. For this purpose, we conducted an…
While many social robots already include carefully designed robotic faces, functional robot eyes that meet human expectations are still an open challenge. As a consequence, many robots either have cameras separated from their robot eyes or active camera heads missing an anthropomorphic face. In this…
Even though research on autonomous robots and human-robot interaction accomplished great progress in recent years, and reusable soft- and hardware components are available, many of the reported findings are only hardly reproducible by fellow scientists. Usually, reproducibility is impeded because re…
