TLDR
The 1995 Robot Competition and Exhibition was held in Montreal, Canada, in conjunction with the 1995 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, designed to demonstrate state-of-the-art autonomous mobile robots, highlighting such tasks as goal-directed navigation, feature detection, object recognition, identification, and physical manipulation.Abstract:
The 1995 Robot Competition and Exhibition was held in Montreal, Canada, in conjunction with the 1995 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The competition was designed to demonstrate state-of-the-art autonomous mobile robots, highlighting such tasks as goal-directed navigation, feature detection, object recognition, identification, and physical manipulation as well as effective human-robot communication. The competition consisted of two separate events: (1) Office Delivery and (2) Office Cleanup. The exhibition also consisted of two events: (1) demonstrations of robotics research that was not related to the contest and (2) robotics focused on aiding people who are mobility impaired. There was also a Robotics Forum for technical exchange of information between robotics researchers. Thus, this year's events covered the gamut of robotics research, from discussions of control strategies to demonstrations of useful prototype application systems.read more

Ways to Tell Robots Where to Go - Directing Autonomous Robots Using Topological Instructions
David Rawlinson,Ray Jarvis +1 more
TL;DR: A GVD-derived topology of spatial affordances is described, in which junctions are defined by the physical capabilities of the navigating robot, and this topology follows walls in open spaces to ensure robust edge transition so that all features can be modeled egocentcally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing Trust in Human–Robot Medical Interactions: Effects of Transparency and Adaptability
TL;DR: The results show that increased transparency, i.e. robot explanations of its own actions designed to make the process and robot behaviors and capabilities accessible to the user, has a consistent effect on people’s trust and perceived comfort.
