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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Sharing spaces with robots in a home scenario - anthropomorphic attributions and their effect on proxemic expectations and evaluations in a live HRI trial
(AAAI, 2008)
This paper presents results from an HRI study that involved participants interacting with robots of different appearances. The particular focus of this paper is how anthropomorphic attributions impacted the proxemic ...
Video prototyping in human-robot interaction : results from a qualitative study
(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 ...
