Human robot interaction (HRI) is studied in two important research areas, intention estimation and intention reshaping. Although there are many studies in the literature that define human intention, new research examines the reshaping of human intentions by using robots in HRI. In this paper, 2 different robot movements are tested in a real environment in order to reshape current human intention. The hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to estimate human intention in our intelligent robotic system. The algorithmic design of the system comprises 2 parts: the first part tracks the moving objects in the environment, and the second part estimates human intention and reshapes the estimated current human intention by using intelligent robots. In the first part, a feature vector consisting of the headings of the human posture and the locations of the humans and robots is created by using video processing techniques. The second part is related to estimating the current intention of a human participant via HMM models and to reshaping the current intention into another intention. The system is tested in a real experimental environment including humans and robots, and the results in the recorded videos are given at the end of the paper.

Morphing Estimated Human Intention via Human-Robot Interactions
Durdu, Akif; Erkmen, İsmet; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Yilmaz, Alper (2011-10-21)
Estimating and reshaping human intentions are topics of research in the field of human-robot interaction. Although works on estimating human intentions are quite well known research areas in the literature, reshaping intentions through interactions is a new significant branching in the field of human-robot interaction. In this paper, we research how the human intentions change based on his/her actions by moving the robots in a real human-robot environment. Our approach uses the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) tai...
The learning and use of traversability affordance using range images on a mobile robot
Ugur, Emre; Dogar, Mehmet R.; Cakmak, Maya; Şahin, Erol (2007-04-14)
We are interested in how the concept of affordances can affect our view to autonomous robot control, and how the results obtained from autonomous robotics can be reflected back upon the discussion and studies on the concept of affordances. In this paper, we studied how a mobile robot, equipped with a 3D laser scanner, can learn to perceive the traversability affordance and use it to wander in a room filled with spheres, cylinders and boxes. The results showed that after learning, the robot can wander around...
Reshaping human intention in Human-Robot Interactions by robot moves A comparative analysis of HMM and OOM methods
Durdu, Akif; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Yilmaz, Alper (John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2019-01-01)
This paper outlines the methodology and experiments associated with the reshaping of human intentions based on robot movements within Human-Robot Interactions (HRIs). Although studies on estimating human intentions are well studied in the literature, reshaping intentions through robot-initiated interactions is a new significant branching in the field of HRI. In this paper, we analyze how estimated human intentions can intentionally change through cooperation with mobile robots in real Human-Robot environmen...
Online mining of human deep intention by proactive environment changes using deep neural networks
Er, Nur Baki; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
This thesis focuses on surfacing human deep intention, which is known or assumed, in a smart environment that consists of autonomous robotic systems which can interact with the human. Deep intentions are defined as kind of actions that humans would like to behave but pushed deeper in the stack of the intentions in a daily life. The purpose of the designed system is to observe the human in the smart room for a while and to analyze human’s behaviors to offer the optimal set of system behavior to surface a des...
A Probabilistic Concept Web on a Humanoid Robot
Çelikkanat, Hande; Orhan, Guner; Kalkan, Sinan (2015-06-01)
It is now widely accepted that concepts and conceptualization are key elements towards achieving cognition on a humanoid robot. An important problem on this path is the grounded representation of individual concepts and the relationships between them. In this article, we propose a probabilistic method based on Markov Random Fields to model a concept web on a humanoid robot where individual concepts and the relations between them are captured. In this web, each individual concept is represented using a proto...
