Four members of the Intelligent Service Robotics Group of the Department of Electrical Engineering have presented research papers at 27th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN) held from Aug 27-31, Nanjing and Tai'an, China. They are working on development of MIRob (Moratuwa Intelligent Robot), an Intelligent service robot for domestic environments under the Supervision of Dr. Buddhika Jayasekara. It is commendable that the researchers of the Department of Electrical Engineering were able to present their work at this premier forum of the Human - Robot Interaction (HRI) field. These research were funded by the Senate Research Grants No: SRC/CAP/2017/03 and SRC/LT/2018/20.
Dr. Viraj Muthugala is presenting a paper at a Poster Session (Title: Cognitive Spatial Representative Map for Interactive Conversational Model of Service Robot, Authors: H.M. Ravindu T. Bandara, M.A. Viraj J. Muthugala, A.G. Buddhika P. Jayasekara, D.P. Chandima)
Bhagya Samarakoon is presenting a paper at a formal session (Title: Replicating Natural Approaching Behavior of Humans for Improving Robot's Approach toward Two Persons During a Conversation, Authors: S.M. Bhagya P. Samarakoon, M.A. Viraj J. Muthugala, A.G. Buddhika P. Jayasekara)
