ABSTRACT
We explore new aspects on assistive living via smart social human-robot interaction (HRI) involving automatic recognition of multimodal gestures and speech in a natural interface, providing social features in HRI. We discuss a whole framework of resources, including datasets and tools, briefly shown in two real-life use cases for elderly subjects: a multimodal interface of an assistive robotic rollator and an assistive bathing robot. We discuss these domain specific tasks, and open source tools, which can be used to build such HRI systems, as well as indicative results. Sharing such resources can open new perspectives in assistive HRI.

Intelligent Assistive Robotic Systems for the elderly: Two real-life use cases
PETRA '17: Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive EnvironmentsMobility impairments are prevalent in the elderly population and constitute one of the main causes related to difficulties in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and consequent reduction of quality of life. When designing a user-friendly ...
Attention Detection in Elderly People-Robot Spoken Interaction
MMRWHRI '14: Proceedings of the 2014 Workshop on Multimodal, Multi-Party, Real-World Human-Robot InteractionIn many human-robot social interactions, where the robot is to interact with only one human throughout the interaction, the "human" side of a conversation is very likely to interact with other humans present in the same room and temporarily loses the ...
Designing social greetings in human robot interaction
DIS '14: Proceedings of the 2014 conference on Designing interactive systemsWe designed and operationalized a greetings model for human robot interaction as a state machine, derived from a subset of social behaviors as detailed by Kendon's observations of greetings and augmented by Hall's proxemics theory. Our premise is that ...
