In this paper we propose a distributed architecture for intelligent robotic systems. The architecture is specific to this domain because it intends to provide support for this type of applications that share particular functional requirements: concurrent perception and action, task and plan execution, reasoning, `intelligent behaviours'. The...

Social robots and artificial agents should be able to interact with the user in the most natural way possible. This work describes the basic principles of a conversation system designed for social robots and artificial agents, which relies on knowledge encoded in the form of an Ontology. Given the knowledge-driven approach, the possibility of...

In the last decade, the concept of trust and its dynamics has received considerable attention in robotics research. This is particularly true in the field of human-robot interaction, where several different factors, ranging from the user expectations of the robot capabilities to the physical appearance of the robot, has been defined as strongly...
