Abstract

This paper shows the development of a virtual environment for a mobile robotic system with the ability to recognize basic voice commands, which are oriented to the recognition of a valid command of bring or take an object from a specific destination in residential spaces. The recognition of the voice command and the objects with which the robot will assist the user, is performed by a machine vision system based on the capture of the scene, where the robot is located. In relation to each captured image, a convolutional network based on regions is used with transfer learning, to identify the objects of interest. For human-robot interaction through voice, a convolutional neural network (CNN) of 6 convolution layers is used, oriented to recognize the commands to carry and bring specific objects inside the residential virtual environment. The use of convolutional networks allowed the adequate recognition of words and objects, which by means of the associated robot kinematics give rise to the execution of carry/bring commands, obtaining a navigation algorithm that operates successfully, where the manipulation of the objects exceeded 90%. Allowing the robot to move in the virtual environment even with the obstruction of objects in the navigation path.<

Abstract

This paper compares well-known convolutional neural networks (CNN) models for facial recognition. For this, it uses its database created from two registered users and an additional category of unknown persons. Eight different base models of convolutional architectures were compared by transfer of learning, and two additional proposed models called shallow CNN and shallow directed acyclic graph with CNN (DAG-CNN), which are architectures with little depth (six convolution layers). Within the tests with the database, the best results were obtained by the GoogLeNet and ResNet-101 models, managing to classify 100% of the images, even without confusing people outside the two users. However, in an additional real-time test, in which one of the users had his style changed, the models that showed the greatest robustness in this situation were the Inception and the ResNet-101, being able to maintain constant recognition. This demonstrated that the networks of greater depth manage to learn more detailed features of the users' faces, unlike those of shallower ones; their learning of features is more generalized.

Abstract

The paper outlines the development of an algorithm focused on imitating movements of a human arm and replicating strokes generated by the user's hand within a working environment. The algorithm was crafted to discern the position of either the user's left or right arm, tracking each section (fingers, wrist, elbow, and shoulder) through a detection and tracking system. These movements are then replicated onto a virtual arm, simulating the actions of a cutting tool, generating strokes as it moves. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were employed to detect and classify each arm section, while geometric analysis determined the rotation angles of each joint, facilitating the virtual robot's motion. The stroke replication program achieved an 84.2% accuracy in stroke execution, gauged by the closure of the polygon, distance between initial and final drawing points, and generated noise, which was under 10%, with a 99% probability of drawing a closed polygon. A Fast region-based convolutional neural network (Fast R-CNN) network detected each arm section with 60.2% accuracy, producing detection boxes with precision ranging from 17% to 59%. Any recognition shortcomings were addressed through mathematical estimation of missing points and noise filters, resulting in a 90.4% imitation rate of human upper limb movement.

Abstract

This paper explores the basic ethical and bioethical considerations necessary to mediate interaction with various everyday robots, analyzing several stateof-the-art reports and own research, considering advances in human-robot interaction (HRI) and artificial intelligence (AI). It is important to indicate that the adoption of robotic assistance systems is limited by users' nervousness about the enforcement of ethics, security and privacy of their information, in addition to the regular threats of Internet use, considering that HRI must reason its social and ethical impacts by including specific issues associated with HRI such as autonomy, transparency, deception and policies. In this way, it is relevant both to evaluate how robotic architectures influence people's daily lives and to study how to avoid possible negative impacts. Finally, it is significant to establish the ethical considerations required to enable the development of AI algorithms that help HRI in a natural way.
