On device abstractions for portable, reusable robot code
TLDR
We seek to make robot programming more efficient by developing a standard abstract interface for robot hardware, based on familiar techniques from operating systems and network engineering, that captures the functionality of logically similar sensors and actuators. Expand

HRI in the sky: Creating and commanding teams of UAVs with a vision-mediated gestural interface
TLDR
Extending our previous work in real-time vision-based Human Robot Interaction (HRI) with multi-robot systems, we present the first example of creating, modifying and commanding teams of UAVs by an uninstrumented human. Expand

Selecting and Commanding Individual Robots in a Multi-Robot System
TLDR
We present a novel real-time computer vision-based system for facilitating interactions between a single human and a multi-robot system: a user first selects an individual robot from a group of robots, by simply looking at it, and then commands the selected robot with a motion-based gesture. Expand

  • 5 December 2005
TLDR
This paper extends and improves upon our previous work on the use of stereotypical aggressive display behavior to reduce interference in robot teams, and thus improve their overall efficiency. Expand

LOST: localization-space trails for robot teams
TLDR
Cushioning member that has a thickness greater than that of a card-type electronic device and is formed of an elastic material is detachably attached to the peripheral edge portion of an electronic device, thereby covering at least the four corner portions of the electronic device. Expand
