In-the-Wild Failures in a Long-Term HRI Deployment (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Del Duchetto, F., Kucukyilmaz, A., & Hanheide, M. (2023, May). In-the-Wild Failures in a Long-Term HRI Deployment. Poster presented at International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), London, UK

Failures are typical in robotics deployments "in-the-wild", especially when robots perform their functions within social human spaces. This paper reports on the failures of an autonomous social robot called Lindsey, which has been used in a public mu... Read More about In-the-Wild Failures in a Long-Term HRI Deployment.

Intelligent control of exoskeletons through a novel learning-from-demonstration method (2020)

A multi valued emotion lexicon created and evaluated by the crowd (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Haralabopoulos, G., Wagner, C., McAuley, D., & Simperl, E. (2018, October). A multi valued emotion lexicon created and evaluated by the crowd. Paper presented at Fifth International Conference on Social Networks Analysis, Management and Security (SNAMS-2018)

Sentiment analysis aims to uncover emotions conveyed through information. In its simplest form, it is performed on a polarity basis, where the goal is to classify information with positive or negative emotion. Recent research has explored more nuance...

A first approach for handling uncertainty in citizen science (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Jiménez, M., Triguero, I., & John, R. (2018, July). A first approach for handling uncertainty in citizen science. Paper presented at IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2018)

Citizen Science is coming to the forefront of scientific research as a valuable method for large-scale processing of data. New technologies in fields such as astronomy or bio-sciences generate tons of data, for which a thorough expert analysis is no...
