(2010)
This position paper proposes that the study of embodied cognitive agents, such as humanoid robots, can advance our understanding of the cognitive development of complex sensorimotor, linguistic, and social learning skills. ...
The effectiveness of using a robotics class to foster collaboration among groups of children with autism in an exploratory study
(2010)
This article describes an exploratory study involving the design of an after-school robotics class for groups of children at the higher-functioning end of the autistic spectrum. The aim of the study was to foster collaboration ...
Modelling human memory in robotic companions for personalisation and long-term adaptation in HRI
(IOS Press, 2010)
This paper investigates issues of robot's personalization and long-term adaptation in human-robot interaction (HRI). It demonstrates the design and first technical implementation of a HRI showcase in the Robot House at ...
As time goes by: representing and reasoning about timing in human-robot interaction studies
(AAAI, 2010)
We summarise the experimental design issues related to timing in several human-robot interaction scenarios investigating turn-taking or synchronization between child-sized humanoid robots and human participants. Our aim1 ...
Developing play scenarios for tactile interaction with a humanoid robot : A case study exploration with children with autism
(2010)
The work presented in this paper is part of our investigation in the ROBOSKIN project. The paper presents the completion of the first phase towards skin-based robot assisted play that included a literature review, exploratory ...
“FearNot!”: a computer-based anti-bullying-programme designed to foster peer intervention
(2010)
Bullying is widespread in European schools, despite multiple intervention strategies having been proposed over the years. The present study investigates the effects of a novel virtual learning strategy (“FearNot!”) to ...
Inter-cultural differences in response to a computer based anti-bullying intervention
(2010)
Background and purpose: Many holistic anti-bullying interventions have been attempted, with mixed success, while little work has been done to promote a 'self-help' approach to victimisation. The rise of the ICT curriculum ...
