Intelligent Service Robotics
Intelligent Service Robotics focuses on advancing the application of robotics for assisting humans through innovative technologies and discoveries.
The purpose of this special issue is to explore how social robots can interact with humans socially and facilitate the integration of service robots. This special issue focuses on three social aspects of human-robot interaction: (1) technical implementation of social robots and products, (2) form, function and behavior of social robots, and (3) human behavior and expectations as a means to understand the social aspects of interacting with these robots and products. List of topics
● Core technologies for social human-robot interaction
○ Social perception and context awareness
○ Short/long-term behavior recognition
○ Social expression and interactive behavior
○ Social task modelling and management
○ Social grasping and navigation skills
○ Social humanoid robot design
○ Human-robot interaction design
○ Emotion recognition and model design
○ Dialogue based interaction
○ Machine learning approaches for social human-robot interaction
○ Building datasets for training robots social intelligence
○ Personalisation of social behaviors of service robots
○ Long-term interaction and relationship development
● Definitions and taxonomy of social capabilities for robots
● Software architecture and system integration for social robot intelligence
● Materials, process and measures to assess social intelligence of robots
● Ethical impacts of social human-robot interactions
● Applications such as healthcare, receptionist, education
