ABSTRACT
In this study, a robot is modeled to have the behavior of a hearing dog that assists hearing-impaired people. Hearing dogs use physical contact to communicate with hearing-impaired people. The proposed robot nudges an object in contact with a person (in this case, a bed) to deliver urgent notifications. This paper describes the concept of a robot with a nudging capability and discusses an experiment to determine whether such a robot can wake sleeping people wearing earplugs. We discuss the functions of the hearing-dog robot as a wake-up alarm.

The Development of a Social Robot Accessible to the Deaf
HRI '21 Companion: Companion of the 2021 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionBada is a social robot that can interact with individuals with the deaf. It resembles the appearance of a robotic vacuum cleaner and its signaling of abnormal circumstances at home was modeled after the behavior of hearing dogs. Bada effectively reduce ...

Abstract The point of interest in this paper is the main content of autonomous navigation of robots. An algorithm for robot Simultaneous Localization And Mapping SLAM based on self-detected waypoint is introduced to realize robot's mapping in its area ...
Recognition of Human Motions for Imitation and Control of a Humanoid Robot
SBR-LARS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 Brazilian Robotics Symposium and Latin American Robotics SymposiumMost of the works in the field of teleoperation of humanoid robots do not use the whole-body of the robot to perform some task. This work treats the teleoperation of a humanoid robot through the recognition of human motions by using a natural interface ...
