Welcome to the

HUman-MAchines INteraction Laboratory (HUMAIN-Lab)

Scope:
Machines, implemented either in hardware or in software, with whom a human interacts proliferate, furthermore their complexity increases; for instance, the aforementioned machines include devices for communication, computers, robots, costumer service software, and other. This lab pursues the study, analysis and design of both hardware and software that enables the seamless collaboration of humans with machines.
Objectives

Innovation

The operation of a machine in the “physical” environment is typically supported by arithmetic models. However, when a human is involved there might emerge non-numerical data…

Inventiveness

Our orientation is toward the development of machines with a capacity to interact with humans in various applications including education, precision farming, patrolling in the physical environment and other.

Entrepreneurship

Our orientation is toward the conversion of our laboratory prototypes in commercial products.

Abstract In this chapter, we present a new model of middleware for multi-micro-agent distributed systems. The proposed model is based on event-driven architecture using event sourcing and CQRS patterns. In this architecture the agent communication model uses a couple of buses. The command bus is used to dispatch commands intended to change the state of the agent, and the query bus is used dispatch queries intended to poll the agent domain state. This mechanism allows separating completely the read and…

Abstract The development of an effective agricultural robot presents various challenges in actuation, localization, navigation, sensing, etc., depending on the prescribed task. Moreover, when multiple robots are engaged in an agricultural task, this requires appropriate coordination strategies to be developed to ensure safe, effective, and efficient operation. This paper presents a simulation study that demonstrates a robust coordination strategy for the navigation of two heterogeneous robots, where one robot is the expert and the second robot is the helper in…

2022, Journals, Publications, SRTSE

Abstract Difficulties with social interaction characterise children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and have a negative impact in their everyday life. Integrating a social-humanoid robot within the standard clinical treatment has been proven promising. The main aim of this randomised controlled study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a robot-assisted psychosocial intervention and the secondary aim was to investigate potential differences between a robot-assisted intervention group and a control group receiving intervention by humans only. The analysis of the results showed…
