Thank you for your interest in participating in our Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) study, part of the ROBOMATE Project, funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI). This study is a collaboration between Technological University Dublin and Atlantic Technological University, focusing on enhancing robot learning from human demonstrations and feedback.
This research aims to refine robotic learning processes, making robots more adaptable and intuitive for real-world applications in manufacturing, healthcare, and safety-critical environments.
The study focuses on improving how robots learn from human demonstrations by analyzing key factors such as:
- Speed & Timing – Evaluating how efficiently robots replicate demonstrated tasks.
Smoothness & Control – Assessing movement precision and fluidity.
- Accuracy & Path Following – Ensuring robots follow human-provided trajectories accurately.
- Ergonomic & Postural Impact – Studying how user posture and comfort are affected during interactions.
By integrating human feedback into robotic learning, researchers seek to develop AI-powered robots that can learn faster, adapt more efficiently, and operate safely in collaborative settings. Human-in-the-loop learning is gaining importance in AI and robotics, as it enables robots to acquire skills dynamically rather than relying solely on pre-programmed instructions. The insights from this study will contribute to developing intuitive and user-friendly robotic systems that can seamlessly integrate into workplaces where human-robot collaboration is essential.
You will participate in a hands-on session with a robot learning tasks through demonstration. No prior robotics experience is required.
