FWF project V4HRC

Vision-based Human-Robot Cooperation: Perspective Sharing
  • 3-years project, started in 2013
  • single person project (Hertha Firnberg programme).
  • Principal investigator; 220.000 €

The overall aim of the project is overcoming the limitations in vision-based human-robot cooperation by combining the strengths of both humans and robots. It investigates how humans can be supported in collaboratively solving a task with a robot by letting them “see the world through the robot’s eyes” in order to achieve a successful and acceptable performance. Within this project it is systematically explored how grounding (i.e. the knowledge, belief, and suppositions two actors believe to share about an activity) can be increased in Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). As such, the research proposed in this project is vital for future robotic vision projects where it is expected that robots share an environment and have to jointly perform tasks. The project follows a highly interdisciplinary approach, combining aspects from sociology, computer science, cognitive science, and robotics.
