People will eventually be exposed to robotic agents that may protest their commands for a wide range of reasons. We present an experiment designed to determine whether a robot's appearance has a significant effect on the amount of agency people ascribed to it and its ability to dissuade a human operator from forcing it to carry out a specific command. Participants engage in a human-robot interaction...
This paper proposes an approach to outreach activities for school students in an industrial robotics laboratory. Students' practice in programming and operating robot manipulators is focused on training spatial skills. We present two case studies in which a robotics workshop and course were given to different categories of students. Both case studies indicated students' highly positive evaluation...
In this study we analyzed the roles of verbal/bodily fillers for recovering from awkward silences in conversations. We focused on verbal fillers such as “ummm” and “uh,” and bodily fillers like “touching own hair or chin” that commonly emerge during silences between turns in conversations. We designed and created simulated dyadic-conversation scenarios using computer graphics characters, and then...
