ABSTRACT
The paradigm shift of Robotics moving toward autonomous robots meeting human needs in real world settings requires developing robot interaction skills. So, a synergy of different disciplines is essential to achieve that goal. In particular, Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), the study of how humans interact with robots in daily environments, aims to endow robots with the necessary interactive abilities. In this context, efficient people detection and tracking is an imperative preliminary step to increase efficiency by selecting relevant parts of an image to be processed by other systems such as: gesture detection and recognition; face detection, recognition and tracking; understanding human activity, etc. In this paper, we propose to analyze the motion detection problem by providing a solution for a good environment adaptation of the robot system and real-time visual perception, including an accurate people/object distinction

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, ...

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 ...
Simulation of a teleautonomous multiple robot system with a single human operator
SpringSim '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Spring Simulation MulticonferenceThis paper reports on a simulation conducted to determine the number of semiautonomous robots that one operator can handle. Robots can be teleoperated, meaning a human controls the robot and tells it what to do; autonomous, where the robot makes its own ...
