The robots are getting more and more into our lives. However, to become an integral part of daily life, they should be socially accepted by the humans. Evidently, the acceptance rate will increase as human-robot interaction gets closer to human-human interaction. in this study, a web-based information filtering system, which enables a humanoid robot to initiate interaction with a human by generating human-like daily conversations, is developed.

Development of an autonomous lawn mower with minimalist hardware approach
Çiçek, Serkan; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
Starting from early 2000’s domestic robots have been taking their place in our daily lives. Today, numerous products are globally available on the domestic robotics market. Among many domestic robot types, robotic cleaners and lawn mowers take the lead in this competition, with their success for reducing undesired house chores. Like in every other product, the price-performance ratio is the most significant evaluation metric for a consumer while buying an autonomous robotic cleaner or an autonomous lawn mow...
OUTDOOR LOCALIZATION OF A ROBOTIC PLATFORM USING PANAROMIC IMAGES
Ekinci, Gülçin Ceren; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-7-8)
Advances in robotics liberated robots from factory floors by the end of 20th century. Use of robots in our daily lives is only expected to increase in time. Robots, while relieving us from the burden of tedious, hard and dangerous tasks, most of them are still expected to be territorial, i.e. they will operate in a predefined or rather bounded environment. For enhanced performance, a robot should be familiar with its territory. In this work, use of skylines extracted from panoramic images is studied in orde...
Design of an image acquisition setup for mimic tracking
Aköner, Özgüler Mine; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
With the advances in computer technology and the changing needs of people’s daily lives, robots start to offer alternative solutions. As one of these solutions, the branch of humanoid robots emerged as advanced robots that can interact with people. Robot faces are one of the most effective means of interacting with people; since they can express their emotions and reactions through facial mimics. However, the development of realistic robot faces necessitates the knowledge of the trajectories and displacemen...
Feedback Motion Planning For a Dynamic Car Model via Random Sequential Composition
Özcan, Melih; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert (2019-01-01)
Autonomous cars and car-like robots have gained huge popularity recently due to the recent advancements in technology and AI industry. Motion and path planning is one of the most fundamental problems for such systems. In the literature, kinematic models are widely adopted for planning and control for these type of robots due to their simplicity (control and analysis) and fewer computational requirements. Though, applicability of kinematic models are limited to very low speeds or some specific cases, which c...
Localization for mobile robots using skyline in panoramic images
