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 ...
Computational memory architectures for autobiographic agents interacting in a complex virtual environment : a working model
(2008)
In this paper, we discuss the concept of autobiographic agent and how memory may extend an agent's temporal horizon and increase its adaptability. These concepts are applied to an implementation of a scenario where agents ...
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 ...
Drum-mate: A Human-Humanoid Drumming Experience
(2007)
We present an exploratory study investigating a drumming experience with Kaspar, a humanoid child-sized robot, and a human. In this work, our aim is not to have Kaspar just replicate the human partner's drumming, but to ...
Creating a software to promote understanding about narrative in children with autism: Reflecting on the design of feedback and opportunities to reason
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
Solving the correspondence problem in robotic imitation across embodiments: synchrony, perception and culture in artifacts

The narrative construction of our (social) world: steps towards an interactive learning environment for children with autism
(2007)
Children with autism exhibit a deficit in narrative comprehension which adversely impacts upon their social world. The authors’ research agenda is to develop an interactive software system which promotes an understanding ...
