In this paper we propose a method for handling persistent visual occlusions that disrupt visual tracking for eye-in-hand systems. This approach provides an efficient strategy for the robot to "look behind" the occlusion while respecting the robot's physical constraints. Specifically, we propose a decoupled search strategy combining a naive pan tilt search with a sensor placement approach, to reduce the strategy's computational cost. We proceed by mapping limited environmental data into the robot configuration space and then planning within a constrained region. We use a particle filter to continuously estimate the target location, while our configuration-based cost function plans a goal location for the camera frame, taking into account robot singularity, self-collision and joint limit constraints. To validate our algorithm, we implemented it on an eye-in-hand robot system. Experimental results for various situations support the feasibility of our approach for quickly recovering fully occluded moving targets. Finally we discuss the implications of this approach to mobile robot platforms.

Visual servoing is an essential enabling technology for robots operating in semi- and un-structured contexts, such as robot assistants working in collaboration with people. However, due to dynamic and unpredictable nature of such environments, existing methods of target tracking can lose visibility of task/target, leading to servo failure. In such situations, it is desirable that the robot reacquire the target in an autonomous/automatic fashion. In this paper we take a fresh look at this problem by examining the simplified case of a pantilt mounted camera visually searching for a lost target. We adopt Lost Target Search techniques based on Recursive Bayesian Filtering algorithms that have been applied to other search platforms such as aerial search and rescue. We investigated both an approximate grid-based filter and a sequential Monte Carlo method, namely particle filter. In both cases we use a new sensor-based observation model. The particle filter exhibited superior performance over approximate grid-based filter in our simulations, and was utilized in a follow-on experiment. In the experiment, we improved the particle filter performance by considering the a priori target tracking information in the motion model. Finally, we discuss the implications of this approach to higher degree of freedom robot systems.

This paper presents a qualitative analysis of 24 interviews with visitors of the ARS Electronica festival in September 2009 in Linz, Austria, who interacted with the android robot Geminoid HI-1, while it was tele-operated by the first author. Only 37.5% of the interviewed visitors reported an uncanny feeling with 29% even enjoying the conversation. In five cases the interviewees' feelings even changed during the interaction with Geminoid HI-1. A number of possible improvements regarding Geminoid's bodily movements, facial expressivity, and ability to direct its gaze became apparent, which inform our future research with and development of android robots.
