Robots are expected to interact with persons in their everyday activities and should learn the preferences of their users in order to deliver a more natural interaction. Having a memory system that remembers past events and using them to generate an adapted robot's behavior is a useful feature that robots should have. Nevertheless, robots will have to face unknown situations and behave appropriately...
Teaching using multimedia is a field where social robots can contribute in a great manner. Some works in humancomputer interaction and multimedia learning demonstrated that synthesized voice impairs user's learning. In this work, we investigate the importance of the system's voice (synthesized vs. human), of the embodiment (robot vs. tablet), and of the user's gender and personality on learning nutrition...
A common goal of robot control architecture designers is to create systems that are sufficiently generic to be adapted to different robot hardware. Beyond code re-use from a software engineering standpoint, having a common architecture could lead to long-term experiments spanning multiple robots and research groups. This paper presents a first step toward this goal with HBBA, a Hybrid Behavior-Based...
