affordance

From afford + -ance; coined in 1977 by psychologist James J. Gibson, and adopted in 1988 by Donald Norman in the context of human-machine interaction.

So an affordance cannot be measured as we measure in physics.

1979, James Gibson, The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception, Theory of Affordances (section 8):

(psychology, philosophy, robotics) Anything that is provided or furnished by an environment to an organism dwelling within it.


uncanny valley

Calque of Japanese 不気味の谷 (bukimi no tani), from 不気味 (bukimi, “eerie, uncanny”, of Middle Chinese origin, literally “bad taste and smell”) + の (no, noun modifier particle) + 谷 (tani, “valley”). First used in 1970 by roboticist Masahiro Mori.

calque

So in this case, the appearance is quite human like, but the familiarity is negative. This is the uncanny valley.

1970, Masahiro Mori, “The Uncanny Valley”, in Energy, volume 7, number 4, pages 33–35:

However, when the robot is so similar that it may be momentarily mistaken for real, the transition has a local minimum characterized by a sudden decrease of familiarity, the "uncanny valley"—a dip of frustration due to unmet expectations.

2006, Sebastiano Bagnara, Gillian Crampton Smith, Theories and Practice in Interaction Design:

Almost human in appearance, yet not quite, the characters in 3-D computer animations are more disturbing than overt caricatures. The realm these creatures occupy is called the uncanny valley […].

2007, Jonathon Keats, Control + Alt + Delete: A Dictionary of Cyberslang:

More unusual is perhaps the appropriation of a psychoanalytical theory to robotics–which is, in effect, what the uncanny valley aims to do. Mori's own descriptions of the uncanny follow a similar pattern to Freud's, where he indicates the kinds of events, states, processes or objects that might provoke the uncanny valley, particularly the theme of the dead.

2015, Kathleen Richardson, An Anthropology of Robots and AI, Routledge, →ISBN:

There’s an uncanny valley effect occurring: Your friends look more like brands, and brands look more like your friends, so it’s increasingly hard to tell which is which. And that’s exactly what businesses want.

2016 September 22, Kyle Chayka, “Instagram's Creepy New Ads Look Like Posts From Your Friends”, in The Atlantic:

(robotics, psychology) A range of appearances, mannerisms, or behaviors of a humanoid figure that are subtly different from a human and thereby cause feelings of discomfort, such as fear or revulsion.

pedipulator

General Electric has been awarded an initial study contract which may lead to the building of a "pedipulator"— a manned walking vehicle intended to replace wheeled or tracked military carriers under certain conditions.

1962, "Walking Machine," Industrial Marketing, vol. 47, issues 7-12, p. 61 (Google snippet view) (retrieved 26 Sept 2013)

In a laboratory in California, a machine which walk across any surface, however uneven, is undergoing final tests. Known as a pedipulator, it can carry a 26-pound pack of delicate instruments on its back at a speed of five miles an hour.

1967 March 23, “Potential of 'Metal Men' Unlimited”, in Calgary Herald Magazine, retrieved 2013-09-26, page 12:

Each of the "legs" of a walking machine can be treated as a pedipulator.

1984, Adam Morecki et al., Cybernetic Systems of Limb Movements in Man, Animals, and Robots, →ISBN, retrieved 2013-09-26, page 63:

Due to the adaptive possibilities of the pedipulators to obstacles, the robot can adjust the working position of the demining sensors while searching landmines.

2006, Lino Marques et al., “Robust Platform for Humanitarian Demining”, in Climbing and Walking Robots, →ISBN, retrieved 2013-09-26, page 1098:

drillable

The drillable centre-line determining device disclosed in this patent takes the form of an interposer which has on its underside a projecting location pin perpendicular to its upper surface which acts as a planarisation platform.

A drillable robot is capable of placing its end link in any orientation in the pencil of planes containing its first link.

1987, R. E. Trahan, Applied Identification, Modelling and Simulation, page 107:

For the drillable robot, the position of the end link (location of u₅ and u₆) is given.

1991, Robert E. Parkin, Applied Robotic Analysis, page 175:

(robotics) Having an arm or manipulator that can position the tool or attachment at the end in different orientations.

Moravec's paradox

Articulated in the 1980s by Hans Moravec, among others.

Dr. Herculano-Houzel's research on the human brain reveals an unexpected insight that sheds light on Moravec's paradox: our ability to perceive and respond to our immediate environment actually demands a lot of brainpower.

2016, Hod Lipson, Melba Kurman, Driverless: Intelligent Cars and the Road Ahead, MIT Press, →ISBN, page 73:

(computing, robotics) The observation that, contrary to traditional assumptions, reasoning (which is high-level in humans) requires very little computation, but sensorimotor skills (comparatively low-level in humans) require enormous computational resources.

teleop

en-noun

teleop (countable and uncountable, plural teleops)

Clipping of teleoperation, equivalent to tele- + op.

Sanctuary's teleoperated humanoid is very capable, but teleoperation is of course not scalable in the way that even partial autonomy is. What all of this teleop has allowed Sanctuary to do is to collect lots and lots of data about how humans do stuff. The long-term plan is that some of those human manipulation skills can eventually be transferred to a very humanlike robot, which is the design concept underlying Phoenix.

2023 May 16, Evan Ackerman, “Sanctuary's Humanoid Robot Is for General-Purpose Autonomy”, in IEEE Spectrum, New York, N.Y.: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2024-05-19:

Von der Ohe said that tele-driving technology is so inexpensive from a capital expenditure perspective, he expects that within five to 10 years, any kind of vehicle that runs from the production line will be teleop-enabled, leveraging the ADAS cameras that are already on the vehicle.

xatbot

Compound of chat + bot. Calque of English chatbot.

Les seves prioritats les van portar a centrar-se gairebé exclusivament en els models de difusió i en xatbots pensats per fer tasques pròpies dels éssers humans (o similars).

Their priorities have lead them to focus almost exclusively on diffusion models and chatbots meant to do tasks designed for human (or similar) beings.


DAMN

The Distributed Architecture for Mobile Navigation (DAMN) has been successfully used to integrate various independently developed subsystems, providing systems that perform road following, cross-country navigation, or teleoperation while avoiding obstacles and meeting mission objectives.

1995, J. K. Rosenblatt, C. E. Thorpe, “Combining multiple goals in a behavior-based architecture”, in Proceedings 1995 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, →DOI, page 136:

In each robot, a path planning algorithm, an obstacle avoidance routine, a slope assessment algorithm, and a task execution unit have all been integrated into a single behavior-based architecture. Navigation is implemented using the DAMN architecture to combine the competing outputs of each behavior module.

2008, Stephen Williams, Antidio Viguria, Ayanna M. Howard, “A robotic mobile sensor network for achieving scientific measurements in challenging environments”, in Proceedings of the Earth Science Technology Conference:

(robotics) Acronym of distributed architecture for mobile navigation.
