Robot-Mediated Interviews with Children : What do potential users think?
(Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour, 2014-04-04)When police officers are conducting interviews with children, some of the disclosures can be quite shocking. This can make it difficult for an officer to maintain their composure without subtly indicating their shock to ... -
Robot-Mediated Interviews with Children: What do potential users think?
(2017-03-30)To date research investigating the potential of Robot-Mediated Interviews (RMI) has focused on establishing how children respond to robots in an interview scenario. In order to test if an RMI approach would work in a real ... -
Robot-mediated interviews: : Do robots possess advantages over human interviewers when talking to children with special needs?
(Springer Nature, 2013-12)Children that have a disability are up to four times more likely to be a victim of abuse than typically developing children. However, the number of cases that result in prosecution is relatively low. One of the factors ... -
Robot-Mediated interviews: A field trial with a potential real-world user
(2020-05-20)In recent years the possibility of using humanoid robots to perform interviews with children has been explored in a number of studies. This paper details a study in which a potential real-world user trialled a Robot-Mediated ... -

Robot-Mediated Interviews: a Robotic Intermediary for Facilitating Communication with Children
(2015-08-19)Robots have been used in a variety of education, therapy or entertainment contexts. This thesis introduces the novel application of using humanoid robots for Robot-Mediated Interviews (RMIs). In the initial stages of this ... -
Robot-mediated joint attention in children with autism : A case study in robot-human interaction
(2004)Interactive robots are used increasingly not only in entertainment and service robotics, but also in rehabilitation, therapy and education. The work presented in this paper is part of the Aurora project, rooted in assistive ... -
Robotic etiquette : structured interaction in humans and robots
(University of Reading, 2000)Visual nonverbal behaviour plays a significant role in allowing humans to structure their interactions meaningfully, thus facilitating communication between individuals. Such behaviour may be exploited in the design of ... -
Robotic etiquette: results from user studies involving a fetch and carry task
(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 ... -
Robotic relative motion reproduction for air to air refuelling simulation
(2013)Hybrid testing involves the testing of physical subassemblies in a real-time simulation, coupled to numerical simulations of complete systems and their related environmental conditions. It offers the ability to test the ... -
Robotic versus open radical cystectomy for bladder cancer in adults
(2019-04-24)Background It has been suggested that in comparison with open radical cystectomy, robotic-assisted radical cystectomy results in less blood loss, shorter convalescence, and fewer complications with equivalent short-term ... -
Robots - the new linguistic informants?
(2008)Many have compared real robots with stars like HAL9000 and R2D2. Engineers and others who design such machines like to be reminded of movie heroes. As a result, while science fiction affects robotics, cognitive science ... -
Robots as assistive technology - does appearance matter
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004)This paper studies the eflect of a robot’s design (appearance) in facilitating and encouraging interaction of children with autism with a small humanoid robot. The paper compares the children’s level of interaction with ... -
Robots as Isolators or Mediators for Children with Autism A Cautionary Tale
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2005)The discussion presented in this paper is part of our investigation in the Aurora project into the potential use of robots as therapeutic or educational ‘toys’ specifically for use by children with autism. The paper raises ... -
Robots as social mediators for children with Autism : A preliminary analysis comparing two different robotic platforms
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)Robots can be very helpful therapeutic tools, especially for children with special needs. In the present paper we describe the application of two robotic platforms with different design parameters in interaction with ... -
Robots Learning to Say `No': Prohibition and Rejective Mechanisms in Acquisition of Linguistic Negation
(2019-11-01)'No' belongs to the first ten words used by children and embodies the first active form of linguistic negation. Despite its early occurrence the details of its acquisition process remain largely unknown. The circumstance ...
