Schiele, A. (author)This thesis is the first to provide the fundamentals of ergonomic exoskeleton design. The fundamental theory as well as technology necessary to analyze and develop ergonomic wearable robots interacting with humans is established and validated by experiments and prototypes. The fundamentals are (1) a new theoretical framework for analyzing...doctoral thesis 2008

Jonkman, J.A. (author)Human assist robotic systems cooperate with human for performing a task. In human power amplifying systems, human and robot interact physically and the robotic arm augments the force of the human, while he still perceives a part of the mass of the controlled object. Human skill and robotic power are combined into one system and due to the human...master thesis 2009

Horsch, C.H.G. (author), Smets, N.J.J.M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Cuijpers, R.H. (author)In urban search and rescue (USAR) situations resources are limited and workload is high. Robots that act as team players instead of tools could help in these situations. A Virtual Reality (VR) experiment was set up to test if team performance of a human-robot team increases when the robot act as such a team player. Three robot settings were...conference paper 2013

Johnson, M. (author), Bradshaw, J.M. (author), Feltovich, P.J. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Van Riemsdijk, M.B. (author), Sierhuis, M. (author)Coactive Design is a new approach to address the increasingly sophisticated roles that people and robots play as the use of robots expands into new, complex domains. The approach is motivated by the desire for robots to perform less like teleoperated tools or independent automatons and more like interdependent teammates. In this article, we...journal article 2014

Xu, J. (author), Broekens, D.J. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Mood contagion is an automatic mechanism that induces a congruent mood state by means of the observation of another person's emotional expression. In this paper, we address the question whether robot mood displayed during an imitation game can (a) be recognized by participants and (b) produce contagion effects. Robot mood was displayed by...conference paper 2014

Multimodal Joint Visual Attention Model for Natural Human-Robot Interaction in Domestic EnvironmentsDomhof, J.F.M. (author)Due to population ageing, the cost of health care will raise in the coming years. One way to help humans, and especially elderly people, is the introduction of domestic robots that can assist people in daily life such that they are less dependent on home care. Joint visual attention models can be used for natural robot-human interaction. Joint...master thesis 2015

Van Dieten, D. (author)Robotics have developed at a very high rate in the last few years. Industries are becoming capable of automating repetitive procedures without pause, and the production speed and quality are improving everyday. The main drawback of robotics in industry is the inability to deal with slight changes in an environment or in certain object parameters...master thesis 2015

Xu, J. (author), Broekens, D.J. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)The aim of our work is to design bodily mood expressions of humanoid robots for interactive settings that can be recognized by users and have (positive) effects on people who interact with the robots. To this end, we develop a parameterized behavior model for humanoid robots to express mood through body language. Different settings of the...journal article 2015

Cencen, A. (author), Verlinden, J.C. (author), Geraedts, J.M.P. (author)The industry is working towards manufacturing systems consisting of a blend of humans and robots. We look at the development of these systems in the context of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). Also, it is believed that industrial robots with collaboration capabilities with humans will play a crucial role in the change towards reconfigurable...conference paper 2015

Emirdağ, D. (author)This graduation report describes the research and development of a novel product, a weatherproof fabric based robot protection cover augmented with flexible LED displays. The product has a built-in power and data distribution system and is capable of being mounted onto an existing lightweight robot arm (LWA). The project was done with the...master thesis 2016

Aiple, M. (author), Schiele, A. (author)Variable stiffness actuators undergo lower peak force in contacts compared to their rigid counterparts, and are thus safer for human-robot interaction. Furthermore, they can store energy in their elastic element and can release it later to achieve human-like dynamic movements. However, it is not clear how to integrate them in teleoperator...conference paper 2017

Guljelmović, Nikol (author)Task-parameterized movement representation, as an approach for the generalization of demonstrations, is used to represent data from multiple local perspectives within the global reference frame, through which more accurate information about multiple aspects of the movement is given. The estimated transformation between the different perspectives...master thesis 2017

Cumbal Guerron, Ronald (author)Socially-aware robot navigation strives to find efficient methods to autonomously navigate known environments while incorporating social metrics derived from human behavior. Several methods built for navigation on dynamic and uncertain environments have been adapted to resemble human navigation, but fail to appropriately reflect the social...master thesis 2017

van Oosterhout, J. (author)The success of future fusion power plants as a sustainable energy source greatly depends on their uptime. This uptime relies on the plant's maintenance, which must be performed via tele-manipulation. Tele-manipulated maintenance is challenging, as exemplified by strictly selected and highly trained operators who still require more time to work...doctoral thesis 2018

Romi Kharisnawan, Romi (author)An important challenge in developing a social robot is making the interaction between human and robot to be more pleasant and convenient. It could be obtained by making the robot to develop, i.e. change its behavior over the course of time. Here we study two aspects of development: behavioral adaptation and behavioral complexity to which we...master thesis 2018

Hoogerwerf, Eert (author)Human-robot collaboration can be improved if the motions of the robot are more legible and predictable. This can be achieved by making the motions more human-like. It is assumed that humans move optimal with respect to a certain objective or cost function. To find this function an inverse optimal control approach is developed. It uses a bilevel...master thesis 2018

Lupetti, M.L. (author), Bendor, R. (author), Giaccardi, Elisa (author)This paper suggests robot citizenship as a design perspective for attending to the sociality of human robot interactions (HRI) in the near future. First, we review current positions regarding robot citizenship, which we summarise as: human analogy, nonhuman analogy and socio-relationality. Based on this review, we then suggest an understanding...conference paper 2019
