ABSTRACT
We introduce and define Cognitive Objects for human-robot interaction and human-computer interaction and disambiguate them against existing 'Smart Objects'. Cognitive Objects are physical real-world objects used in manipulation tasks by humans and robots. As such, they incorporate self-awareness, reduce ambiguity and uncertainty in object recognition, and provide services to both humans and robots during their usage in real-world environments.
We distinguish Cognitive Objects from other 'Smart Objects' and computationally enriched artifacts, outline their characteristics, and describe their potential impact on human-computer and human-robot interaction with real-world objects.

A Taxonomy of Robot Autonomy for Human-Robot Interaction
HRI '24: Proceedings of the 2024 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionRobot autonomy is an influential and ubiquitous factor in human-robot interaction (HRI), but it is rarely discussed beyond a one-dimensional measure of the degree to which a robot operates without human intervention. As robots become more sophisticated, ...
Safe Close-Proximity and Physical Human-Robot Interaction Using Industrial Robots
CRV '15: Proceedings of the 2015 12th Conference on Computer and Robot VisionIndustrial robots have been employed worldwide in the manufacturing sector for performing tasks quickly, repeatedly and accurately in relatively static environments for over 30 years. In recent years, close physical interaction between industrial robots ...
Advances in tactile sensing and touch based human-robot interaction
HRI '12: Proceedings of the seventh annual ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-Robot InteractionThe problem of "providing robots with the sense of touch" is fundamental in order to develop the next generations of robots capable of interacting with humans in different contexts: in daily housekeeping activities, as working partners or as caregivers, ...
