Manipulation of beacons is a method of Human-Swarm Interaction (HSI) of relative ease to implement, especially for computer simulated environments. This paper focuses on doing an in depth analysis of an implementation of attractor and repulsor fields and determining its advantages and disadvantages through experimental means. The results give an optimistic view of the method: the learning curve is...
Educational use of mobile robots is among the most explored subtopics of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), given the potential attention calling possibilities drawn by its novelty aspect. In educational environments is expected that social robots enhance learning, such as virtual agents that have been used. However, the real effect of applying a physical robot has not been well exploited. This paper...
Considering the greater insertion of mobile robots in social contexts, i.e. in the presence of humans, classical techniques for fundamental tasks, such as navigation, must consider those people. In this sense, it is important to provide these robots with the capability to behave in a more socially acceptable manner. The adoption of socially acceptable behaviors demands a trade-off between social comfort...
