Preferences and perceptions of robot appearance and embodiment in human-robot interaction trials
(2009)
Outcomes are presented from experiments on the effect of participants' individual preferences for robot appearance and height on their preferences towards and perceptions of live robots. Participants who expressed a ...
An empirical framework for human-robot proxemics
(2009)
An empirical framework for Human-Robot (HR) proxemics is proposed which shows how the measurement and control of interpersonal distances between a human and a robot can be potentially used by the robot to interpret, predict ...
Human approach distances to a mechanical-looking robot with different robot voice styles
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)
Findings are presented from a Human Robot Interaction (HRI) Demonstration Trial where attendees approached a stationary mechanical looking robot to a comfortable distance. Instructions were given to participants by the ...
Avoiding the uncanny valley : robot appearance, personality and consistency of behavior in an attention-seeking home scenario for a robot companion
(2008)
This article presents the results of video-based Human Robot Interaction (HRI) trials which investigated people’s perceptions of different robot appearances and associated attention-seeking features and behaviors displayed ...
Exploring the Design Space of Robot Appearance and Behavior in an Attention-Seeking Living Room Scenario for a Robot Companion
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
Exploratory studies on social spaces between humans and a mechanical-looking robot
(2006)
The results from two empirical studies of human–robot interaction are presented. The first study involved the subject approaching the static robot and the robot approaching the standing subject. In these trials a small ...
A Study of a Single Robot Interacting with Groups of Children in a Rotation Game Scenario
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
We tested the hypothesis that children are more attentive to a robot if the robot appears to be interested in the children. In addition, we investigated if and how the quality and quantity of a child's attentive behaviour ...
