Abstract:
It is expected that in future social robots will be used to provide various services to persons in their daily environments. However, nowadays robots are still missing many of the abilities necessary for their introduction into populated spaces, such as the sensing and understanding of their surroundings, and knowledge on the persons' usual behavior in public spaces. This talk will discuss how we apply ambient sensors to overcome the issues faced by single robots as well as improve our understanding on the persons' behavior. In addition it will give an overview of our group's research on human-robot interaction in daily environments.
