With the arrival of Industry 4.0, traditional manufactures will undergo a digitalization and automatization process to become smart factories. In such warehouses, fleets of fully autonomous robots will cooperate to transport ...

This article describes an exploratory study of social human-robot interaction with the experimental robotic platform MASHI. The experiences were carried out in La Bobila Cultural Center in Barcelona, Spain to study the visit

El presente Proyecto Fin de Carrera se haya dividido en dos partes diferenciadas y correspondientes a: Análisis y diseño de un Robot móvil autónomo para un entorno inteligente: en esta parte se parte del prototipo de ...

This work introduces new results on the modeling of early-vocal development using artificial intelligent cognitive architectures and a simulated vocal tract. The problem is addressed using intrinsically-motivated learning ...

An exportable and robust system using only camera images is proposed for path execution in robot navigation. Motion information is extracted in the form of optical flow from SURF robust descriptors of consecutive frames, ...

To explore social bonds’ emergence with robots, a field study with 49 sixth grade scholars (aged 11-12 years) and 4 different robots was carried out at an elementary school. A subsequent laboratory experiment with 4 of ...

In the next few years, the amount and variety of context-aware robotic manipulator applications is expected to increase significantly, especially in household environments. In such spaces, thanks to programming by ...

It is at least two decades since the conventional robotic manipulators have become a common manufacturing tool for different industries, from automotive to pharmaceutical. The advances in manipulators and sensors have given ...
