Mutual gaze, personality, and familiarity : Dual eye-tracking during conversation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-09)
Mutual gaze is an important aspect of face-to-face communication that arises from the interaction of the gaze behavior of two individuals. In this dual eye-tracking study, gaze data was collected from human conversational ...
Impact of lead-lag contributions of subject on adaptability of the GENTLE/A system : An exploratory study
(IEEE COMPUTER SOC, 2012-06-24)
The idea of using robots to assist a therapist with a rehabilitation exercise has led to the development of several rehabilitation robotic devices. The scope of robotic devices in rehabilitation is rapidly advancing based ...
A Study to understand lead-lag performance of Subject vs Rehabilitation System
(ACM Press, 2012-03-08)
Robotic assistance in stroke rehabilitation is rapidly advancing based on the recent developments in robotics, haptic interfaces and virtual reality. GENTLE/S is a rehabilitation system that utilizes haptic and virtual ...
Embodiment and cognitive learning - Can a humanoid robot help children with autism to learn about tactile social behaviour?
(Springer Nature, 2012)
The work presented in this paper is part of our investigation in the ROBOSKIN project. The project aims to develop new robot capabilities based on the tactile feedback provided by novel robotic skin. The main objective of ...

(2012)
This editorial provides an overview of the recent progress of research in the evolution of communication and Interaction Studies by analysing the articles in the three issues published in 2011. This allows us to appreciate ...
My familiar robot companion : Preferences and perceptions of CHARLY, a companion humanoid autonomous robot for living with you
(Springer Nature, 2012)
This paper presents findings from a survey conducted with visitors to the My Familiar Companion exhibit, part of the HUMAN+ Exhibition at the Science Gallery in Dublin. The exhibit consisted of a humanoid robot, CHARLY ...
Social acceptance of humanoid robots in Japan : A survey for development of the frankenstein syndorome questionnaire
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)
This research explores the concept of 'The Frankenstein Syndrome' in order to develop a psychological tool for measuring acceptance of humanoid robots, as well as expectations and anxieties toward these technologies. It ...
Scenarios of robot-assisted play for children with cognitive and physical disabilities.
(2012)
This article presents a novel set of ten play scenarios for robot-assisted play for children with special needs. This set of scenarios is one of the key outcomes of the IROMEC project that investigated how robotic toys can ...
Generation of tactile maps for artificial skin
(2011-11-10)
Prior research has shown that representations of retinal surfaces can be learned from the intrinsic structure of visual sensory data in neural simulations, in robots, as well as by animals. Furthermore, representations of ...
The impact of participants' beliefs on motor interference and motor coordination in human-humanoid interactions
(2011-03)
This study compared the responses of human participants studying motor interference and motor coordination when they were interacting with three different types of visual stimuli: a humanoid robot, a pendulum, and a virtual ...
