“…projective, capacitive, optical or acoustic surface waves were designed for flat surfaces and fail on the irregular shaped displays. Computer vision techniques based on infrared illumination, FTIR and depth tracking are effective [1,27], but require a clear optical path from the user touching the surface to the vision sensor, i.e. it has to "see" the curved surface.…”

We present a technology for designing curved display surfaces that can both display information and sense two dimensions of human touch. It is based on 3D printed optics, where the surface of the display is constructed as a bundle of printed light pipes, that direct images from an arbitrary planar image source to the surface of the display. This effectively decouples the display surface and image source, allowing to iterate the design of displays without requiring changes to the complex electronics and optics of the device. In addition, the same optical elements also direct light from the surface of the display back to the image sensor allowing for touch input and proximity detection of a hand relative to the display surface. The resulting technology is effective in designing compact, efficient displays of a small size; this has been applied in the design of interactive animated eyes.

We describe and test a non-linear control algorithm inspired by the behavior of motor neurons in humans and other animals during extremely fast saccadic eye movements. The algorithm is implemented on a robotic eye, which includes a stiff camera cable, similar to the optic nerve, which adds a complicated non-linear stiffness to the plant. For high speed movement, our "pulse-step" controller operates openloop using an internal model of the eye plant learned from past measurements. We show that the controller approaches the performance seen in the human eye, producing fast movements with little overshoot. Interestingly, the controller reproduces the main sequence relationship observed in animal eye movements.

“…Here, robots are meant to be observed, providing an entertaining show without any interaction. For instance the Disney World Company employs robots to act on stages [14], to perform acrobatic actions [15], [16], or to freely roam in the theme parks [17]. e laer can perform a finite set of human-robot interactions meant to handle approaching crowds.…”

Games are often used to foster human partners' engagement and natural behavior, even when they are played with or against robots. Therefore, beyond their entertainment value, games represent ideal interaction paradigms where to investigate natural human-robot interaction and to foster robots' diffusion in the society. However, most of the state-of-the-art games involving robots, are driven with a Wizard of Oz approach. To address this limitation, we present an end-to-end (E2E) architecture to enable the iCub robotic platform to autonomously lead an entertaining magic card trick with human partners. We demonstrate that with this architecture a robot is capable of autonomously directing the game from beginning to end. In particular, the robot could detect in real-time when the players lied in the description of one card in their hands (the secret card). In a validation experiment the robot achieved an accuracy of 88.2% (against a chance level of 16.6%) in detecting the secret card while the social interaction naturally unfolded. The results demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and its effectiveness in entertaining the players and maintaining their engagement. Additionally, we provide evidence on the possibility to detect important measures of the human partner`s inner state such as cognitive load related to lie creation with pupillometry in a short and ecological game-like interaction with a robot.
