Researchers give robots better tools to manage conflicts in dialogues

A new thesis from Umeå University shows how robots can manage conflicts and knowledge gaps in dialogues with people. By understanding the reasons behind dialogues that don't unfold as expected, researchers have developed strategies and mechanisms that could be important when living side by side.

A new model that allows robots to re-identify and follow human users

In recent years, roboticists and computer scientists have introduced various new computational tools that could improve interactions between robots and humans in real-world settings. The overreaching goal of these tools is to make robots more responsive and attuned to the users they are assisting, which could in turn facilitate their widespread adoption.

Using hierarchical generative models to enhance the motor control of autonomous robots

To best move in their surrounding environment and tackle everyday tasks, robots should be able to perform complex motions, effectively coordinating the movement of individual limbs. Roboticists and computer scientists have thus been trying to develop computational techniques that can artificially replicate the process through which humans plan, execute, and coordinate the movements of different body parts.

Reptilian robots used in BBC documentary considered for use in disaster response efforts

A trio of roboticists from KM-RoBoTa Sàrl, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and Verity AG, all in Switzerland, has found that a pair of reptilian robots they built for use in a BBC documentary back in 2016 may now offer a novel means for studying marine life and could also be used in disaster efforts.
