Creating a software to promote understanding about narrative in children with autism: Reflecting on the design of feedback and opportunities to reason
Davis, M.; Otero, N.; Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Powell, S.D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007) -
Distribution and Recognition of Gestures in Human-Robot Interaction
Otero, N.; Knoop, S.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Syrdal, D.S.; Dautenhahn, K.; Dillman, R. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)This paper presents an approach for human activity recognition focusing on gestures in a teaching scenario, together with the setup and results of user studies on human gestures exhibited in unconstrained human-robot ... -
Eliciting Requirements for a Robotic Toy for Children with Autism - Results from User Panels
Robins, B.; Otero, N.; Ferrari, E.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007) -
Exploring human mental models of robots through explicitation interviews
Syrdal, D.S.; Dautenhahn, K.; Koay, K.L.; Walters, M.L.; Otero, N. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)This paper presents the findings of a qualitative study exploring how mental models of a mechanoid robot using dog-inspired affective cues behaviour emerges and impacts the evaluation of the robot after the viewing of a ... -
Helping robots imitate: Metrics and technological solutions inspired by human behaviour
Alissandrakis, A.; Otero, N.; Saunders, J. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)In this paper we describe three lines of research related to the issue of helping robots imitate people. These studies are based on observed human behaviour, technical metrics and implemented technical solutions. The three ... -
Human to robot demonstrations of routine home tasks: exploring the role of the robot's feedback
Otero, N.; Alissandrakis, A.; Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Syrdal, D.S.; Koay, K.L. (2008)In this paper, we explore some conceptual issues, relevant for the design of robotic systems aimed at interacting with humans in domestic environments. More specifically, we study the role of the robot's feedback (positive ... -
Issues in Human/Robot Task Structuring and Teaching
Saunders, J.; Otero, N.; Nehaniv, C.L. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007) -
Methodological Issues of Annotating Vision Sensor Data using Subjects' Own Judgement of Comfort in a Robot Human Following Experiment
Koay, K.L.; Zivkovic, Z.; Dautenhahn, K.; Walters, M.L.; Otero, N.; Alissandrakis, A. (2006) -
Naturally Occurring Gestures in a Human-Robot Teaching Scenario
Otero, N.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Syrdal, D.S.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)This paper describes our general framework for the investigation of how human gestures can be used to facilitate the interaction and communication between humans and robots. -
Video prototyping in human-robot interaction : results from a qualitative study
Syrdal, D.S.; Otero, N.; Dautenhahn, K. (2008)Motivation: explore and refine qualitative methods of video prototyping in human-robot interaction in order to evaluate user experience of prototype systems. Research approach: an exploratory, scenario based study, in which ...
