Can Real-time, Adaptive Human-Robot Motor Coordination Improve Humans’ Overall Perception of a Robot?
Shen, Qiming; Dautenhahn, K.; Saunders, Joe; Kose, Hatice (2015-03)Previous research on social interaction among humans suggested that interpersonal motor coordination can help to establish social rapport. Our research addresses the question of whether, in a human-humanoid interaction ... -
Can robots be used as a vehicle for the projection of socially sensitive issues Exploring children's attitudes towards robots through stories--
Woods, S.; Davis, M.; Dautenhahn, K.; Schulz, J. (2005) -
Can Social Interaction Skills Be Taught by a Social Agent? The Role of a Robotic Mediator in Autism Therapy
Werry, I.; Dautenhahn, K.; Ogden, B.; Harwin, W. (2001)Increasingly socially intelligent agents (software or robotic) are used in education, rehabilitation and therapy. This paper discusses the role of inter-active, mobile robots as social mediators in the particular domain ... -
Can you trust your robotic assistant?
Amirabdollahian, F.; Dautenhahn, K.; Dixon, C.; Eder, K.; Fisher, M.; Koay, K.L.; Magid, E.; Pipe, T.; Salem, M.; Saunders, J.; Webster, M. (Springer Nature, 2013-10)Robotic assistants are being developed to assist with a range of tasks at work and home. Besides designing and developing such robotic assistants, a key issue that needs to be addressed is showing that they are both safe ... -
Care-O-bot® 3 - Vision of a robot butler
Reiser, U.; Jacobs, T.; Arbeiter, G.; Parlitz, C.; Dautenhahn, K. (Springer Nature, 2013)This chapter promotes the idea of a robot butler and investigates the advantages and disadvantages of embodiment for the proposed scenario,Tina and her butler". In order to make the discussion more tangible, Care-O-bot® 3 ... -
Child and Adults Perspectives on Robot Appearance
Woods, S.; Dautenhahn, K.; Schulz, J. (2005) -
Close encounters : spatial distances between people and a robot of mechanistic appearance
Walters, M.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Koay, K.L.; Kaouri, C.; Te Boekhorst, R.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Werry, I.; Lee, D. (2005) -
Communication as an Emergent Metaphor for Neuronal Operation
Nasuto, S.J.; Dautenhahn, K.; Bishop, J. M. (1999)The conventional computational description of brain operations has to be understood in a metaphorical sense. In this paper arguments supporting the claim that this metaphor is too restrictive are presented. A new metaphor ... -
Companion robots for elderly people : Using theatre to investigate potential users' views
Walters, M.L.; Koay, K.L.; Syrdal, D.S.; Campbell, A.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)A theatre production of a play illustrating the functionality, social and ethical aspects of robots helping with aspects of elderly care was presented at a residential care home. The audience consisted of mainly elderly ... -
Comparing different control architectures for autobiographical agents in static virtual environments
Ho, W.C.; Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L. (2003) -
Comparing human robot interaction scenarios using live and video based methods: towards a novel methodological approach
Woods, S.; Walters, M.L.; Koay, K.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)This paper presents results of a pilot study that investigated whether people’s perceptions from live and video HRI trials were comparable. Subjects participated in a live HRI trial and videotaped HRI trials in which the ... -
Computational memory architectures for autobiographic agents interacting in a complex virtual environment : a working model
Ho, W.C.; Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L. (2008)In this paper, we discuss the concept of autobiographic agent and how memory may extend an agent's temporal horizon and increase its adaptability. These concepts are applied to an implementation of a scenario where agents ... -
Constructive biology and approaches to temporal grounding in post-reactive robotics
Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Loomes, M.J. (1999)Constructive Biology ( as opposed to descriptive biology) means understanding biological mechanisms through building systems that exhibit life-like properties. Applications include learning engineering tricks from biological ... -
A Constructivist Approach to Robot Language Learning via Simulated Babbling and Holophrase Extraction
Saunders, J.; Lyon, C.; Foerster, Frank; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)It is thought that meaning may be grounded in early childhood language learning via the physical and social interaction of the infant with those around him or her, and that the capacity to use words, phrases and their ... -
Correspondence mapping induced state and action metrics for robotic imitation
Alissandrakis, A.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (2007) -
The Correspondence Problem
Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L. (MIT Press, 2002)The identification of any form of social learning, imitation, copying or mimicry presupposes a notion of correspondence between two autonomous agents. Judging whether a behaviour has been transmitted socially requires the ... -
The Correspondence Problem in Social Learning:--What Does it Mean for Behaviors to Match Anyway
Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (2002) -
Creating a software to promote understanding about narrative in children with autism: Reflecting on the design of feedback and opportunities to reason
Davis, M.; Otero, N.; Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Powell, S.D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007) -
Design issues on interactive environments for children with autism
Dautenhahn, K. (University of Reading, 2000)This article addresses design issues that are relevant in the AURORA project which aims at developing an autonomous, mobile robot as a therapeutic tool for children with autism. Cognitive theories of mindreading are discussed ... -
