Artists as HRI pioneers : A creative approach to developing novel interactions for living with robots
(Springer Nature, 2013-12)
In this article we present a long-term, continuous human-robot cohabitation experiment, which involved two professional artists, whose artistic work explores the boundary between science and society. The artists lived in ...
Sharing spaces, sharing lives - The impact of robot mobility on user perception of a home companion robot
(Springer Nature, 2013-12)
This paper examines the role of spatial behaviours in building human-robot relationships. A group of 8 participants, involved in a long-term HRI study, interacted with an artificial agent using different embodiments over ...
Exploring robot etiquette : Refining a HRI home companion scenario based on feedback from two artists who lived with robots in the UH robot house
(Springer Nature, 2013-12)
This paper presents an exploratory Human-Robot Interaction study which investigated robot etiquette, in particular focusing on understanding the types and forms of robot behaviours that people might expect from a robot ...
Can you trust your robotic assistant?
(Springer Nature, 2013-10)
Robotic assistants are being developed to assist with a range of tasks at work and home. Besides designing and developing such robotic assistants, a key issue that needs to be addressed is showing that they are both safe ...
Accompany : Acceptable robotiCs COMPanions for AgeiNG Years - Multidimensional aspects of human-system interactions
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-06)
With changes in life expectancy across the world, technologies enhancing well-being of individuals, specifically for older people, are subject to a new stream of research and development. In this paper we present the ...
Companion robots for elderly people : Using theatre to investigate potential users' views
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)
A theatre production of a play illustrating the functionality, social and ethical aspects of robots helping with aspects of elderly care was presented at a residential care home. The audience consisted of mainly elderly ...
A user friendly robot architecture for re-ablement and co-learning in a sensorised home
(IOS Press, 2013)
To meet the needs of an ever ageing population it has been proposed that assitive technology might provide aid and support for elderly people and allow them to reside for longer in their own homes. Such proposals face many ...
A different approach of using Personas in human-robot interaction : Integrating Personas as computational models to modify robot companions' behaviour
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)
The current paper focuses on a novel integration of the Personas technique into HRI studies, and the definition of a Persona-Based Computational Behaviour Model for achieving socially intelligent robot companions in living ...
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 ...
Managing social constraints on recharge behaviour for robot companions using memory
(ACM Press, 2011)
In this paper, we present an approach to monitor human activities such as entry, exit and break times of people in a workplace environment. The companion robot then learns the users' presence patterns over a period of time ...
