About
Dominik Joho is a robotics researcher whose work bridges human-robot interaction and autonomous navigation. His key research areas include RFID-based localization, humanoid social robotics, and active SLAM. Joho made major contributions to sensor modeling for RFID technology, developing a novel sensor model that enables mobile robots to use radio frequency signals for localization and mapping—work that has garnered 132 citations. He also led the development of the humanoid museum guide robot "Robotinho" and its predecessor "Fritz," which demonstrated intuitive, multimodal interaction with multiple persons using speech, facial expressions, and gestures. His 2006 paper on humanoid museum guides has been cited 127 times, reflecting its impact on social robotics. Joho's work on autonomous exploration for 3D map learning and active SLAM using connectivity graphs further advanced robotic autonomy. His research on integrating vision and speech for multi-person conversations, as well as nonparametric Bayesian models for scene analysis, showcases his versatility. With over 560 total citations across his most-cited works, Joho's contributions continue to influence both human-robot interaction and autonomous navigation research.
