Managing social constraints on recharge behaviour for robot companions using memory
Deshmukh, A.; Yii Lim, M.; Kriegel, M.; Aylett, R.; Casse, K.D.; Koay, K.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (ACM Press, 2011)In this paper, we present an approach to monitor human activities such as entry, exit and break times of people in a workplace environment. The companion robot then learns the users' presence patterns over a period of time ... -

My familiar robot companion : Preferences and perceptions of CHARLY, a companion humanoid autonomous robot for living with you
Walters, M.L.; Syrdal, D.S.; Dautenhahn, K.; Dumitriu, A.; May, A.; Christianson, B.; Koay, K.L. (Springer Nature, 2012)This paper presents findings from a survey conducted with visitors to the My Familiar Companion exhibit, part of the HUMAN+ Exhibition at the Science Gallery in Dublin. The exhibit consisted of a humanoid robot, CHARLY ... -
Navigation in the presence of humans
Sisbot, E.A.; Alami, R.; Simeon, T.; Dautenhahn, K.; Walters, M.L.; Woods, S.; Koay, K.L.; Nehaniv, C.L. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)Robot navigation in the presence of humans raises new issues for motion planning and control since the humans safety and comfort must be taken explicitly into account. We claim that a human-aware motion planner must not ... -
The Negative Attitudes Towards Robots Scale and reactions to robot behaviour in a live Human-Robot Interaction study
Syrdal, D.S.; Dautenhahn, K.; Koay, K.L.; Walters, M.L. (The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2009-04-01)This paper describes the use of the Negative Attitudes Towards Robots Scale (NARS) to explain participants' evaluations of robot behaviour styles in a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) study. Twenty-eight participants interacted ... -
A personalized robot companion - The role of individual differences on spatial preferences in HRI scenarios
Syrdal, D.S.; Koay, K.L.; Walters, M.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)This study investigated the relationship between individual differences and proxemic behaviour in an HRI setting involving a robot approaching a person. In total 33 participants took part in three different scenarios; ... -
Practical and methodological challenges in designing and conducting human-robot interaction studies
Walters, M.L.; Woods, S.; Koay, K.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2005) -
Preferences and perceptions of robot appearance and embodiment in human-robot interaction trials
Walters, M.L.; Koay, K.L.; Syrdal, D.S.; Dautenhahn, K.; Te Boekhorst, R. (2009)Outcomes are presented from experiments on the effect of participants' individual preferences for robot appearance and height on their preferences towards and perceptions of live robots. Participants who expressed a ... -
Reducing the cost of robotics software : SAMGAR, a generic modular robotic software communication architecture
Du Casse, K.; Koay, K.L.; Ho, W.C.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)Code reuse in advanced robotics can be problematic due to the wide spectrum of robotic projects and little standardization. Although, in some cases, there are standardisations and tools that can be used, such as YARP, there ... -
Robotic etiquette: results from user studies involving a fetch and carry task
Walters, M.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Woods, S.; Koay, K.L. (ACM Press, 2007)This paper presents results, outcomes and conclusions from a series of Human Robot Interaction (HRI) trials which investigated how a robot should approach a human in a fetch and carry task. Two pilot trials were carried ... -
The Role of Autonomy and Interaction Type on Spatial Comfort in an HRI Scenario
Syrdal, D.S.; Walters, M.L.; Koay, K.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (University of Hertfordshire, 2008)This extended abstract presents findings from a live HRI study carried out in the UH robot house. The participants (33 in total) were approached by a robot for 3 different interaction types and the amount of control the ... -

Te Boekhorst, R.; Walters, M.L.; Koay, K.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)We tested the hypothesis that children are more attentive to a robot if the robot appears to be interested in the children. In addition, we investigated if and how the quality and quantity of a child's attentive behaviour ... -
