In order to investigate the interaction and collaboration of human and artificial beings as fully equal partner agents, we have developed an interactive computer game called TeamMATE and tested its operation under a boardroom-like play scenario. We outline the key features and desirable properties that are necessary in an electronic boardroom environment and introduce a physical layer concept that allows us to define the electronic boardroom as well as the required sensors, effectors and communication protocols in an extensible manner. Once the basics of the TeamMATE system have been described, we demonstrate a simple brainstorming process defined within a physical layer. Within this electronic boardroom, human and artificial beings, as fully equal partner agents, interact collaboratively to fulfil the various roles and responsibilities related to the process under observation. Finally, we conclude with our observations of TeamMATE in action, and how this contributes to further work with collaborative fully equal partner agents.

The paper presents an integrated approach to incremental learning in autonomous systems, that includes both pattern recognition and feature selection. The approach utilizes evolving connectionist systems (ECoS) and is applied on on-line image and speech pattern learning and recognition tasks. The experiments show that ECoS are a suitable paradigm for building autonomous systems for learning and navigation in a new environment using both image and speech modalities.

The power supply for autonomous mobile robots is an important issue for keeping robots in their long-term functionality. Recharging is necessary before the power of the robot has exhausted. In this paper, we propose a vision-based docking strategy for the security robot recharging. A landmark is detected and recognized by the proposed image processing. Then the geometrical relationship between the robot and the docking station (the depth and orientation) is estimated. The robot moves directly to the right front of the docking station. Finally, the robot approaches to the docking station. Experimental results show that the proposed method successfully performs the docking.

Summary form only given. There has been much comment about Japanese companies whose management is not following global standards, but this is a misconception. Companies and organizations are groups of people after all, so we must not discount the importance of the human spirit. It is dangerous to follow rules and standards without keeping this in mind. Of course the same can be said for traditional management based solely on unspoken understanding. Fuji Television, Nippon Broadcasting and Livedoor are fitting examples. Good management is not possible when either method or spirit is missing. This also applies when companies launch new products

A "muscle suit" that provides muscular support for the paralyzed or those otherwise unable to move unaided is being developed as a wearable robot. The lack of a metal frame and use of McKibben artificial muscle allow the muscle suit to be lightweight, making it realistic to use in daily life. Although all motion for the upper limb by the armor-type muscle suit with the mechanical joints and hard frame is realized, shoulder joints has difficulty in smooth motion because of DOF limitation. To overcome the limitation, new link mechanism is proposed and smooth motion for shoulder is achieved.

Summary form only given. For some time, we have been investigating interactions and cooperation between biological (human) and artificial beings in both homogeneous and heterogeneous decision making settings. This presentation addresses: a) TeamMate, an electronic boardroom computer game, aimed at accommodating mental interactions among human and artificial beings; b) ICSL cooperative driverless vehicles, currently able to cooperate with each other, aimed at being able to cooperate with vehicles driven by humans. Each concept has a prospect of being accepted by the social system.

Natural and man-made disasters are serious problems in every country. Robotics, intelligent machines, systems and devices are highly expected as effective solutions in the future. Special project on development of advanced robots for disaster response (DDT Project) is focused on R&D of robotic solutions for reconnaissance of victim bodies, structural damage and environmental conditions to assist rescue parties in large-scale urban earthquake disasters. This paper introduces an overview of this project and the problem domain of earthquake disasters, search-and-rescue processes and rubble pile characteristics.

Summary form only given. This talk describes both broad ethical and social perspectives on the development of robotic systems and their implications for business, as well as ongoing research on various ways in which humans can be engaged with robots. One approach enables average people to easily specify and execute multiagent military robotic missions using the MissionLab system developed at Georgia Tech. Another perspective involves engaging users directly with robots through affective (emotional) bonding. Finally the notion of just what robots ultimately should be is considered from a social and ethical perspective.

In this research, we show two experiments using non-verbal interaction based on 'humatronics' which constructs natural interaction between human and systems. We use various types of systems based on electronics. However, these systems are not useful and imposes burden. The electronics for solving these problems are called "humatronics". Advanced humatronics are mostly needed for natural communication between human and system. Thus, we think nonverbal communication is basic, and important for communication between human. Moreover, we focus on the networked robotics which is fusion of network technology and robot technology. We constructed nonverbal interface by using human natural motion. In the first experiment, we created commands using hand motion which is based on natural motion, such as beckoning, hissing away and so on. We constructed robot manipulation system using these commands. Furthermore, we compared the user-friendliness of our system with present keyboard manipulation system. In the second experiment, in order to manipulate a robot using more natural motion, we proposed 'pointing movement'. Moreover, we constructed networked robots that recognize human motion. Accordingly, the user is able to manipulate the robot with more natural motion in larger space.

This paper proposes a new communication model based on physical world objects. In usual human-robot interaction a human looks on the robot's behaviors without responding to them and seldom immerses him/herself in the interaction. The communication model achieves human's immersion in interaction with two types of behaviors. The first draws human's attention to a physical world object or a physical world state. The second stimulates a human's feeling under the attention. The novel idea of the model is to employ the actual physical objects to mediate the human-robot interaction. In particular, since the second behavior relates directly to a sort of human's sensory perception, it is easy for a human to become aware of the referent of the robot's behavior. As a result of the two behaviors, he/she begins to infer robot's intentions and immerses him/herself in the interaction.
