The Negative Attitudes Towards Robots Scale and reactions to robot behaviour in a live Human-Robot Interaction study
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2009-04-01)
This paper describes the use of the Negative Attitudes Towards Robots Scale (NARS) to explain participants' evaluations of robot behaviour styles in a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) study. Twenty-eight participants interacted ...
A User study on visualization of agent migration between two companion robots
(2009)
In order to provide continuous user assistance in different physical situations and circumstances, it is desirable that an agent can maintain its identity as it migrates between different physical embodiments. A user study ...
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 ...
The boy-robot should bark! : Children's impressions of agent migration into diverse embodiments
(2009)
This paper presents results from a series of focused group discussions with a sample consisting of approximately 180 children during which views and opinions regarding agents migrating between different embodiments were ...
Five Weeks in the Robot House : Exploratory Human-Robot Interaction Trials in a Domestic Setting
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)
This paper presents five exploratory trials investigating scenarios likely to occur when a personal robot shares a home with a person. The scenarios are: a human and robot working on a collaborative task, a human and robot ...
