description | Enabling robots to seamlessly operate as part
of smart spaces is an important and extended challenge
for robotics R&D and a key enabler for a range of advanced
robotic applications, such as AmbientAssisted Living
(AAL) and home automation. The integration of these
technologies is currently being pursued from two largely
distinct view-points: On the one hand, people-centred initiatives
focus on improving the user’s acceptance by tackling
human-robot interaction (HRI) issues, often adopting
a social robotic approach, and by giving to the designer
and - in a limited degree – to the final user(s), control
on personalization and product customisation features.
On the other hand, technologically-driven initiatives are
building impersonal but intelligent systems that are able
to pro-actively and autonomously adapt their operations
to fit changing requirements and evolving users’ needs,
but which largely ignore and do not leverage human-robot
interaction and may thus lead to poor user experience and
user acceptance. In order to inform the development of a
new generation of smart robotic spaces, this paper analyses
and compares different research strands with a view
to proposing possible integrated solutions with both advanced
HRI and online adaptation capabilities. |
