An Autonomous Proxemic System for a Mobile Companion Robot
(AISB, 2010-03)
This paper presents an Autonomous Proxemic System (APS) for a mobile robot. It detects people in the surroundings and manipulates the robot’s motions to approach them keeping an acceptable proxemic distance. The APS sensing ...
Theatre as a Discussion Tool in Human-Robot Interaction Experiments : A Pilot Study
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
In the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), a novel experimental methodology is presented for carrying out studies which uses a theatrical presentation with an actor interacting and cooperating with robots in realistic ...
Video prototyping of dog-inspired non-verbal affective communication for an appearance constrained robot
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
This paper presents results from a video human-robot interaction (VHRI) study in which participants viewed a video in which an appearance-constrained Pioneer robot used dog-inspired affective cues to communicate affinity ...
Exploring human mental models of robots through explicitation interviews
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
This paper presents the findings of a qualitative study exploring how mental models of a mechanoid robot using dog-inspired affective cues behaviour emerges and impacts the evaluation of the robot after the viewing of a ...
