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 ...
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 ...
Teaching robot companions : The role of scaffolding and event structuring
(2008)
For robots to be more capable interaction partners they will necessarily need to adapt to the needs and requirements of their human companions. One way that the human could aid this adaptation may be by teaching the robot ...
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 ...
Towards a Narrative Mind: The Creation of Coherent Life Stories for Believable Virtual Agents
(2008)
This paper describes an approach to create coherent life stories for Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) in order to achieve long-term believability. We integrate a computational autobiographic memory, which allows agents ...
Drumming with a humanoid robot : results from human-robot interaction studies
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)
What is an Appropriate Theory of Imitation for a Robot Learner?
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)
