Does the Appearance of a Robot Influence People's Perception of Task Criticality?
Chanseau, Adeline; Dautenhahn, Kerstin; Walters, Michael L.; Koay, Kheng Lee; Lakatos, Gabriella; Salem, Maha (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-11-08)As home robot companions become more common, it is important to understand what types of tasks are considered critical to perform correctly. This paper provides working definitions of task criticality, physical and cognitive ... -
Evaluating the Robot Personality and Verbal Behavior of Domestic Robots Using Video-Based Studies
Walters, Michael L.; Lohse, Manja; Hanheide, Marc; Wrede, Britta; Syrdal, Dag Sverre; Koay, Kheng Lee; Green, Anders; Hüttenrauch, Helge; Dautenhahn, Kerstin; Sagerer, Gerhard; Severinson-Eklundh, Kerstin (Elsevier, 2014-12-10)Robots are increasingly being used in domestic environments and should be able to interact with inexperienced users. Human-human interaction and human-computer interaction research findings are relevant, but often limited ... -

Getting to know Pepper : Effects of people’s awareness of a robot’s capabilities on their trust in the robot
Rossi, Alessandra; Holthaus, Patrick; Dautenhahn, Kerstin; Koay, Kheng Lee; Walters, Michael L. (ACM Press, 2018-12-04)This work investigates how human awareness about a social robot’s capabilities is related to trusting this robot to handle different tasks. We present a user study that relates knowledge on different quality levels to ... -
Humans' Perception of a Robot Moving Using a Slow in and Slow Out Velocity Profile
Schulz, Trenton; Holthaus, Patrick; Amirabdollahian, Farshid; Koay, Kheng Lee (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-03-25)Humans need to understand and trust the robots they are working with. We hypothesize that how a robot moves can impact people’s perception and their trust. We present a methodology for a study to explore people’s perception ... -
The impact of peoples' personal dispositions and personalities on their trust of robots in an emergency scenario
Rossi, Alessandra; Dautenhahn, Kerstin; Koay, Kheng Lee; Walters, Michael L. (2018-07-18)Humans should be able to trust that they can safely interact with their home companion robot. However, robots can exhibit occasional mechanical, programming or functional errors. We hypothesise that the severity of the ... -
Initial Design, Implementation and Technical Evaluation of a Context-aware Proxemics Planner for a Social Robot
Koay, Kheng Lee; Syrdal, Dag; Bormann, Richard; Saunders, Joe; Walters, Michael L.; Dautenhahn, Kerstin (Springer Nature Link, 2017-10-24)Home Companion Robots need to be able to support users in their daily living activities and to be socially adaptive. They should take account of users’ individual preferences, environments and social situations in order ... -
A matter of consequences : Understanding the effects of robot errors on people's trust in HRI
Rossi, Alessandra; Dautenhahn, Kerstin; Koay, Kheng Lee; Walters, Michael L. (2024-02-15)On reviewing the literature regarding acceptance and trust in human-robot interaction (HRI), there are a number of open questions that needed to be addressed in order to establish effective collaborations between humans ... -
Toward Reliable Autonomous Robotic Assistants Through Formal Verification : A Case Study
Webster, Matt; Dixon, Clare; Fisher, Michael; Salem, Maha; Saunders, Joe; Koay, Kheng Lee; Dautenhahn, K.; Saez-Pons, Joan (2016-04-02)It is essential for robots working in close proximity to people to be both safe and trustworthy. We present a case study on formal verification for a high-level planner/scheduler for the Care-O-bot, an autonomous personal ... -
Views from within a narrative : Evaluating long-term human-robot interaction in a naturalistic environment using open-ended scenarios
Syrdal, D.S.; Dautenhahn, K.; Koay, Kheng Lee; Ho, Wan Ching (2014-12-31)This article describes the prototyping of human–robot interactions in the University of Hertfordshire (UH) Robot House. Twelve participants took part in a long-term study in which they interacted with robots in the UH Robot ...
