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) tailored for the intelligent robotic systems. The algorithmic design consists of two phases: human tracking and the use of intelligent robots that aims to change intentions of individuals in the environment. In the former phase, postures and locations of the human are monitored by applying low-level video processing methods. The latter phase learned HMM models are used to reshape the estimated human intention. This two-phase system is tested on video frames taken from a real human-robot environment. The results obtained using the proposed approach is discussed according to performance towards the '' degree '' of reshaping the detected intentions.

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 algorit...
Deictic gaze in virtual environments
Yılmaz, Efecan; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2018)
The research in human-robot interaction (HRI) involve topics, such as interlocutor collaboration in joint action, deixis in HRI, or the properties of shared environments. Moreover, referring expressions are particularly studied in joint action from both expression generation and resolution perspectives. Selective visual attention in gaze interaction and saliency patterns are also active topics in HRI. The present thesis investigated in a virtual reality (VR) environment an HRI and joint action situation wit...
An Interactive computational design approach for creating architectural topographiesi
Ongun, Gökhan; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2013)
The research aims at developing a digital environment for understanding and analyzing natural forces and designing according to the simultaneous feedback given by omputational tools. The thesis is an investigation into the concept of interactivity between the designer and computer through the use of computational fluid dynamic tools in a local context of Eastern Netherlands Coast, in response to the already dynamic natural fluid like elements such as air, coastal currents and sand particles. The behavior of...
Effect of goal orientation and different human computer interaction modalities on users’ engagement
Fal, Mehmetcan; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2016)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of goal orientation and alternative human computer interaction modalities on user engagement. Performance-oriented and learning- oriented individuals exhibit motivational differences. Learning-oriented individuals focus on progress and mastery, whereas performance-oriented individuals focus on ability. Twenty-five participants participated in the study. They were asked to accomplish the same task with three alternative modalities of interaction, namely...
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...
