Preface
Human-robot interaction has been a topic of both science fictionand academic speculation even before any robots existed. Because muchof active HRI development depends on natural-language processing,many aspects of HRI are continuations of human communications,afield of research which is much older than robotics. Although initiallyrobots in the human-robot interaction field required some humanintervention to function, research has expanded this to the extent thatfully autonomous systems are now far more common than in the early2000s. Autonomous systems include from simultaneous localization andmapping systems which provide intelligent robot movement to natural-language processing and natural-language generation systems whichallow for natural, human-esque interaction which meet well-definedpsychological benchmarks. Anthropomorphic robots (machines whichimitate human body structure) are better described by the biomimeticsfield, but overlap with HRI in many research applications. Examplesof robots which demonstrate this trend include Willow Garage's PR2robot,the NASA Robonaut,and Honda ASIMO. However,robots in thehuman-robot interaction field are not limited to human-likerobots: Paro and Kismet are both robots designed to elicit emotionalresponse from humans, and so fall into the category of human-robotinteraction. Goals in HRI range from industrial manufacturingthrough Cobots, medical technology through rehabilitation, autismintervention, and elder care devices, entertainment, humanaugmentation, and human convenience. Future research therefore coversa wide range of fields, much of which focuses on assistive robotics,robot-assisted search-and-rescue, and space exploration. Robotsare artificial agents with capacities of perception and action in thephysical world often referred by researchers as workspace. Their usehas been generalized in factories but nowadays they tend to be foundin the most technologically advanced societies in such critical domainsas search and rescue, military battle, mine and bomb detection, scientificexploration, law enforcement, entertainment and hospital care.

Preface

These new domains of applications imply a closer interaction withrobots and humans share the workspace but also share goals in termsof task achievement.This close interaction needs new theoretical models,on one hand for the robtics scientists who work to improve the robotsutility and on the other hand to evaluate the risks and benefits of thisnew "friend" for our modern society. With the advance in AI,the researchis focusing on one part towards the safest physical interaction but alsoon a socially correct interaction, dependent on cultural criteria. Thegoal is to build an intuitive, and easy communication with the robotthrough speech, gestures, and facial expressions. KerstinDautenhahn refers to friendly Human-robot interaction as“Robotiquette” defining it as the “social rules for robot behaviour (a'robotiquette') that is comfortable and acceptable to humans”The robothas to adapt itself to our way of expressing desires and orders and notthe contrary. But every day environments such as homes have muchmore complex social rules than those implied by factories or evenmilitary environments. Thus, the robot needs perceiving andunderstanding capacities to build dynamic models of its surroundings.It needs to categorize objects, recognize and locate humans andfurther recognize their emotions.The need for dynamic capacities pushesforward every sub-field of robotics. Furthermore,by understanding andperceiving social cues, robots can enable collaborative scenarios withhumans.For example,with the rapid rise of personal fabricationmachines such as desktop 3d printers, laser cutters, etc., entering ourhomes, scenarios may arise where robots can collaboratively sharecontrol, co-ordinate and achieve tasks together. Industrial robots havealready been integrated into industrial assembly lines and arecollaboratively working with humans. The social impact of such robotshave been studied9 and has indicated that workers still treat robotsand social entities, rely on social cues to understand and work together.
The present book provides a comprehensive introduction to robotics.The book covers a fair amount of kinematics and dynamics of the robots.It also covers the sensors and actuators used in robotics system. Thisbook will be useful for mechanical, electrical, electronics and computerengineering students.
