I would like to dedicate this episode to people that are working to make robots more understandable by humans. People want people to interact seamlessly with robots. That robots understand us and that we understand robots.   Today we are going to learn what is HRI and a project that tries to achieve that with ROS.    But before going into the meat, let me tell you that in case you need to improve your ROS skills, you can learn RO2 with The Construct.  We provide self-led trainings based on robot simulations and remote real robots.   You follow our lessons using your web browser and practice from minute one with the simulated robots. Also, as you advance the lesson, you will practice with real robots located in Barcelona.   They are available 24/7 for you to remotely connect to them and do your practice. Have a look at our webpage about the different subjects you can learn on ROS1 and ROS2 and start practicing with robots from minute one with The Construct.   Now let me introduce you Severin Lemaignan. Severin is a senior scientist in social robotics at Pal Robotics. There he works to develop ways to make communication between humans and robots easier. Today he is going to explain us everything about HRI and his project about how to get a general framework of HRI for ROS robots.   Welcome to the podcast Severin!   Related links Follow Séverin Lemaignan on LinkedIn Séverin Lemaignan – Academic Homepage PAL Robotics REP PR New REP proposal: Human-Robot Interaction in ROS (ROS4HRI) ROS for Human-Robot Interaction (ROS4HRI) ROS4HRI framework The ROSCon 2022 The Construct ROS1 & ROS2 academy The full 3 days training The Construct delivers about ROS2 including basics of ROS2, ROS2 Navigation and ROS2 Manipulation Subscribe to the podcast using any of the following methods * ROS Developers Podcast on iTunes * ROS Developers Podcast on Stitcher * ROS Developers Podcast on Spotify Or watch the video interview
