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 ...
Using temporal information distance to locate sensorimotor experience in a metric space
(2005)
Information distance is used to measure how similar sensorimotor experience is to past experience--within a certain temporal horizon. Applied to groups--of sensors this gives a mathematical metric on sensorimotor experience ...
Sustaining interaction dynamics and engagement in dyadic child-robot interaction kinesics: Lessons learnt from an exploratory study
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Motivated by questions of interaction design for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), an exploratory initial study was carried out with children and a robotic pet in order to improve understanding the design space for interaction ...
Navigation in the presence of humans
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Robot navigation in the presence of humans raises new issues for motion planning and control since the humans safety and comfort must be taken explicitly into account. We claim that a human-aware motion planner must not ...
Towards an Interactive System Facilitating Therapeutic Narrative Elicitation in Autism.
(2004)
By telling stories to ourselves and others we make sense of the world; not only of events and why they happened, but also of the actions and motivations of ourselves and others. However, people with autism appear to live ...
