This study explores the question: could a robot be equipped with an artificial “common sense” and if so, how? The study outlines a method for equipping social robots with an artificial theory of mind. The method is based on a simulation-based interna... Read More about Towards robots with common sense.

On the relationship between benchmarking, standards and certification in robotics and AI (2024)

Benchmarking, standards and certification are closely related processes. Standards can provide normative requirements that robotics and AI systems may or may not conform to. Certification generally relies upon conformance with one or more standards a... Read More about On the relationship between benchmarking, standards and certification in robotics and AI.

Quantifying human-robot interaction by developing a measure for safe collaboration (2024)

Camilleri, A. Quantifying human-robot interaction by developing a measure for safe collaboration. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10883623

This research investigated whether human motion prediction by an assistive robot can always lead to a safe and efficient human-robot interaction. Using human motion, prediction can encourage interaction in close physical proximity and can help build...

Variable autonomy through responsible robotics: Design guidelines and research agenda (2024)
Journal Article
Reinmund, T., Salvini, P., Kunze, L., Jirotka, M., & Winfield, A. F. (2024). Variable autonomy through responsible robotics: Design guidelines and research agenda. ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction, 13(1), 1-36. https://doi.org/10.1145/3636432

Physically embodied artificial agents, or robots, are being incorporated into various practical and social contexts, from self-driving cars for personal transportation to assistive robotics in social care. To enable these systems to better perform un... Read More about Variable autonomy through responsible robotics: Design guidelines and research agenda.
