Naturally occurring gestures in a human-robot interaction teaching scenario
(2008)
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. Two studies were carried out to reveal which ...
Evaluating extrovert and introvert behaviour of a domestic robot : a video study
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)
Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research is here presented into social robots that have to be able to interact with inexperienced users. In the design of these robots many research findings of human-human interaction and ...
Computational memory architectures for autobiographic agents interacting in a complex virtual environment : a working model
(2008)
In this paper, we discuss the concept of autobiographic agent and how memory may extend an agent's temporal horizon and increase its adaptability. These concepts are applied to an implementation of a scenario where agents ...
Human to robot demonstrations of routine home tasks: exploring the role of the robot's feedback
(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 ...
Drum-mate: A Human-Humanoid Drumming Experience
(2007)
We present an exploratory study investigating a drumming experience with Kaspar, a humanoid child-sized robot, and a human. In this work, our aim is not to have Kaspar just replicate the human partner's drumming, but to ...
Methodology and themes of human-robot interaction: a growing research field
(2007)
This article discusses challenges of Human-Robot Interaction, which is a highly inter- and multidisciplinary area. Themes that are important in current research in this lively and growing field are identified and selected ...
FearNot! An Anti-Bullying Intervention: Evaluation of an Interactive Virtual Learning Environment
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2007)
Eliciting Requirements for a Robotic Toy for Children with Autism - Results from User Panels
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
AMIA: A knowledge representation model for computational autobiographic agents
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
This paper describes a hierarchical design for knowledge representation in computational autobiographic memory. This model is named AMIA (Autobiographic Memory for Intelligent Agents). Inspired by research in human ...
