TL;DR: The authors propose a construction method of a behavior-decision system using fuzzy algorithms capable of expressing sequence flow which includes a mixture of both crisp and fuzzy processing and a method of tuning algorithms for giving robots the autonomous ability to judge purposes of actions like humans.
Abstract: The authors propose a construction method of a behavior-decision system using fuzzy algorithms capable of expressing sequence flow which includes a mixture of both crisp and fuzzy processing. They also propose a method of tuning algorithms for giving robots the autonomous ability to judge purposes of actions like humans. In this method, an attempt is made to express ambiguous situations which a robot will encounter and behavior-decision algorithm flow by using the modified fuzzy algorithm with fuzzy branch controlled threshold, called a behavior-decision fuzzy algorithm. Results of computer simulations for a simple indoor environment and experiments using a real autonomous mobile robot are shown to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. >

TL;DR: The author presents some fundamental problems in human-robot-computer interaction, and some results obtained in PRIME project are described, followed by concluding remarks.
Abstract: The merging of two lines of research, human-computer interaction and human-robot interaction, can lead to a field of research that might be called human-robot-computer interaction. Human-robot-computer interaction is a research field for understanding how multiple humans, robots and computers interact with each other, and generating effective design methodologies for their interaction. Towards this end, the author launched a project called PRIME (Physically-grounded human-Robot-computer Interaction in Multiagent Environment). Its goal is to develop keen knowledge for understanding and designing human-robot-computer interaction, in which humans can naturally behave and cooperate with each other by using multiple robots and computers. The aim is to systematically integrate autonomous mobile robots into open and distributed computer networks and their interface systems so as to integrate the information world of computers with the physical world of humans and robots. It seems that this approach is conceptually new to people both in computer science and in robotics. The author presents some fundamental problems in human-robot-computer interaction, following a brief summary of related work. Next, some results obtained in PRIME project are described, followed by concluding remarks. >
