Abstract

Automated knowledge-based machine interaction, or interactive robotics, is critical to the future development of robotic operations. Such interaction should include higher levels of intelligent behavior, as cooperation, substitution, context-driven response, and mutual error-recovery. This article details our recent and on-going research projects of such robotic machine interaction.
