Artists as HRI pioneers : A creative approach to developing novel interactions for living with robots
Lehmann, H.; Walters, M.L.; Dumitriu, A.; May, A.; Koay, K.L.; Sàez-Pons, J.; Syrdal, D.S.; Wood, L.J.; Saunders, Joe; Burke, N.; Duque-Garcia, I.; Christianson, B.; Dautenhahn, K. (Springer Nature, 2013-12)In this article we present a long-term, continuous human-robot cohabitation experiment, which involved two professional artists, whose artistic work explores the boundary between science and society. The artists lived in ... -
Contingency allows the robot to spot the tutor and to learn from interaction
Fischer, K.; Saunders, J.; Lehmann, H.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Lohan, K.S.; Pitsch, K.; Rohlfing, K.J.; Wrede, B. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-01-01)Aiming at artificial system learning from a human tutor elicit tutoring behavior, which we implemented on the robotic platform iCub. For the evaluation of the system with users, we considered a contingency module that is ... -
'Make it move' : Playing cause and effect games with a robot companion for children with cognitive disabilities
Lehmann, H.; Robins, B.; Dautenhahn, K.; Iacono, I.; Marti, P. (ACM Press, 2011-01-01)Play is one of the most important activities in child development. Children with special needs are often excluded from play activities due to the nature of their impairments. This paper describes the use of two types of ... -
Mutual gaze, personality, and familiarity : Dual eye-tracking during conversation
Broz, F.; Lehmann, H.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-09)Mutual gaze is an important aspect of face-to-face communication that arises from the interaction of the gaze behavior of two individuals. In this dual eye-tracking study, gaze data was collected from human conversational ... -
Robot-Mediated Interviews - How Effective Is a Humanoid Robot as a Tool for Interviewing Young Children?
Wood, Luke; Dautenhahn, K.; Rainer, A.; Robins, B.; Lehmann, H.; Syrdal, D.S. (2013-03-22)Robots have been used in a variety of education, therapy or entertainment contexts. This paper introduces the novel application of using humanoid robots for robot-mediated interviews. An experimental study examines how ... -
Robot-mediated interviews : Does a robotic interviewer impact question difficulty and information recovery?
Wood, L. J.; Dautenhahn, K.; Lehmann, H.; Robins, B.; Rainer, A.; Syrdal, D.S. (IOS Press, 2013)Our previous research has shown that children respond to a robotic interviewer very similar compared to a human interviewer, pointing towards the prospect of using robot-mediated interviews in situations where human ... -
Robot-Mediated Interviews with Children : What do potential users think?
Wood, L. J.; Lehmann, H.; Dautenhahn, K.; Robins, B.; Rainer, A.; Syrdal, D.S. (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: : Do robots possess advantages over human interviewers when talking to children with special needs?
Wood, L.J.; Dautenhahn, K.; Lehmann, H.; Robins, B.; Rainer, A.; Syrdal, D.S. (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 ... -
Towards using prosody to scaffold lexical meaning in robots
Saunders, J.; Lehmann, H.; Sato, Y.; Nehaniv, C.L. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)We present a case-study analysing the prosodic contours and salient word markers of a small corpus of robot-directed speech where the human participants had been asked to talk to a socially interactive robot as if it were ... -
Tutor Spotter : Proposing a Feature Set and Evaluating It in a Robotic System
Lohan, K.S.; Rohlfing, K.J.; Pitsch, K.; Saunders, J.; Lehmann, H.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Fischer, K.; Wrede, B. (2012-04-01)From learning by observation, robotic research has moved towards investigations of learning by interaction. This research is inspired by findings from developmental studies on human children and primates pointing to the ...
