Facilitating Play Between Children with Autism and an Autonomous Robot
Francois, D. (2009-03-05)This thesis is part of the Aurora project, an ongoing long-term project investigating the potential use of robots to help children with autism overcome some of their impairments in social interaction, communication and ... -
Sustaining interaction dynamics and engagement in dyadic child-robot interaction kinesics: Lessons learnt from an exploratory study
Robins, B.; Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Mirza, N.A.; Francois, D.; Olsson, L. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)Motivated by questions of interaction design for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), an exploratory initial study was carried out with children and a robotic pet in order to improve understanding the design space for interaction ... -
Towards socially adaptive robots : A novel method for real time recognition of human-robot interaction styles
Francois, D.; Polani, D.; Dautenhahn, K. (2009)Automatically detecting different styles of play in human-robot interaction is a key challenge towards adaptive robots, i.e. robots that are able to regulate the interactions and adapt to different interaction styles of ... -
Using real-time recognition of human-robot interaction styles for creating adaptive robot behaviour in robot-assisted play
Francois, D.; Dautenhahn, K.; Polani, D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)This paper presents an application of the Cascaded Information Bottleneck Method for real-time recognition of Human-Robot Interaction styles in robot-assisted play. This method, that we have developed, is implemented here ...
