Designing Robot Behavior in Human-Robot Interactions

Designing Robot Behavior in Human-Robot Interactions

In this book we have set up a unified analytical framework for various human-robot systems which involve peer-peer interactions (either space-sharing or time-sharing) or hierarchical interactions. A methodology in designing the robot behavior through control planning decision and learning is proposed. In particular the following topics are discussed in-depth: safety during human-robot interactions efficiency in real-time robot motion planning imitation of human behaviors from demonstration dexterity of robots to adapt to different environments and tasks cooperation among robots and humans with conflict resolution. These methods are applied in various scenarios such as human-robot collaborative assembly robot skill learning from human demonstration interaction between autonomous and human-driven vehicles etc. Key Features:Proposes a unified framework to model and analyze human-robot interactions under different modes of interactions. Systematically discusses the control decision and learning algorithms to enable robots to interact safely with humans in a variety of applications. Presents numerous experimental studies with both industrial collaborative robot arms and autonomous vehicles. | Designing Robot Behavior in Human-Robot Interactions

Human-Robot Interactions in Future Military Operations

Human-Robot Interactions in Future Military Operations

Soldier-robot teams will be an important component of future battle spaces creating a complex but potentially more survivable and effective combat force. The complexity of the battlefield of the future presents its own problems. The variety of robotic systems and the almost infinite number of possible military missions create a dilemma for researchers who wish to predict human-robot interactions (HRI) performance in future environments. Human-Robot Interactions in Future Military Operations provides an opportunity for scientists investigating military issues related to HRI to present their results cohesively within a single volume. The issues range from operators interacting with small ground robots and aerial vehicles to supervising large near-autonomous vehicles capable of intelligent battlefield behaviors. The ability of the human to 'team' with intelligent unmanned systems in such environments is the focus of the volume. As such chapters are written by recognized leaders within their disciplines and they discuss their research in the context of a broad-based approach. Therefore the book allows researchers from differing disciplines to be brought up to date on both theoretical and methodological issues surrounding human-robot interaction in military environments. The overall objective of this volume is to illuminate the challenges and potential solutions for military HRI through discussion of the many approaches that have been utilized in order to converge on a better understanding of this relatively complex concept. It should be noted that many of these issues will generalize to civilian applications as robotic technology matures. An important outcome is the focus on developing general human-robot teaming principles and guidelines to help both the human factors design and training community develop a better understanding of this nascent but revolutionary technology. Much of the research within the book is based on the Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED) U. S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) 5-year Army Technology Objective (ATO) research program. The program addressed HRI and teaming for both aerial and ground robotic assets in conjunction with the U. S. Army Tank and Automotive Research and Development Center (TARDEC) and the Aviation and Missile Development Center (AMRDEC) The purpose of the program was to understand HRI issues in order to develop and evaluate technologies to improve HRI battlefield performance for Future Combat Systems (FCS). The work within this volume goes beyond the research results to encapsulate the ATO's findings and discuss them in a broader context in order to understand both their military and civilian implications. For this reason scientists conducting related research have contributed additional chapters to widen the scope of the original research boundaries.

Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans. Looking closely at the human blueprint it contains a suite of capacities that are so clumsy they have generally been kept away from AI. It was assumed that robots with features like emotions and intuition that made mistakes and looked for meaning and purpose would not work as well as robots without this kind of code. But on considering why all these irrational properties are there it seems that they emerge from the source code of soul. Because it is actually this ‘junk’ code that makes us human and promotes the kind of reciprocal altruism that keeps humanity alive and thriving. Robot Souls looks at developments in AI and reviews the emergence of ideas of consciousness and the soul. It places our ‘junk code’ in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI. The book author Eve Poole received an OBE in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to education and gender equality. | Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Tissue Type Plasminogen Activity Volume I

Tissue Type Plasminogen Activity Volume I

This book is made possible by the enthusiastic contributions of the authors of the chapters. They have been invited from young and active scientists in the field of t-PA research. I am grateful for their contribution and for the fact that all accepted the specifications of their chapter in order to obtain a structured book. Inevitably some overlap does exist; on the one hand to enable controversial or unsettled areas to be discussed by the different experts with a different approach and background. It is a particular pleasure and honor that Dr. T. Astrup as an eye-witness and essential contributor to the history of t-PA discovery and research gives a unique account of the history of t-PA research in the first chapter of the book. | Tissue Type Plasminogen Activity Volume I
