ABSTRACT
Human-robot teaming can be improved if a robot»s actions meet human users» expectations. The goal of this research is to determine what variations of robot actions in response to natural language match human judges» expectations in a series of tasks. We conducted a study with 21 volunteers that analyzed how a virtual robot behaved when executing eight navigation instructions from a corpus of human-robot dialogue. Initial findings suggest that movement more accurately meets human expectation when the robot (1) navigates with an awareness of its environment and (2) demonstrates a sense of self-safety.

Biomimetic application of desert ant visual navigation for mobile robot docking with weighted landmarks
Previous work has shown that honeybees use a snapshot model to determine a local vector to find their way home. A simpler, average landmark vector model has since been proposed for biologically-inspired mobile robot homing. Previously, the authors have ...
Wall-following control of an infrared sensors guided wheeled mobile robot
Wall-following is an effective and economical approach for a robot to navigate in an environment where physical features like walls exist as natural references for its movements. During the robot's wall-following process where the working space is ...
Design and implementation of a navigation system for autonomous mobile robots
In this paper, a navigation system for autonomous mobile robots is proposed. Our navigation system is a hybrid of behaviour-based and model-based navigation systems. In our system, a behaviour-based subsystem is in charge of low-level reactive actions, ...
