In recent years, the topic of social acceptable navigation made further progress in the field of mobile robotics. Despite the existing challenges in navigation, now the additional factor human is considered. Within this scope the following thesis is dedicated towards two aspects in social acceptable…
Most applications of mobile and cognitive robotics require a prediction mechanism to estimate the future positions of moving objects. An autonomous car, for example, needs to determine the intentions of other traffic participants to avoid collisions and to obey the traffic rules. A service robot, on…
The central topic of this thesis concerns social service robotics. In recent years this branch of mobile robotics in general has seen increasing interest. Due to increasing capabilities and growing fields of application of such robots, the group of potential users has changed. Unexperienced users raise…
To realize the operation of mobile service robots in everyday life, it
isnecessary to develop intelligent and adaptive dialog systems. Such
dialogsystems must be designed in a way that allows an easy and intuitive
operationeven for untrained users.For that purpose, it is necessary to
detect the mood…
