This paper proposes a new interaction mechanism for tele-operating a mobile robot. The approach explores the notion of telepresence and physical embodiment to create what may be called tele-embodiment. Its principle is that the operator will see himself at the remote site and this will enable him/her to better operate the robot. Four interaction styles were experimentally compared, from the traditional...
For compelling human-robot interaction, social gestures are widely believed to be important. This paper investigates the effects of adding gestures to a physical game between a human and a humanoid robot. Human participants repeatedly threw a ball to the robot, which attempted to catch it. If the catch was successful, the robot threw the ball back to the human. For half of the cases in which the catch...
Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) is known to provide a proprioceptive drift toward the direction where the rubber hand is tapped. On the other hand, Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs) induce an entire body shift from a third-person Point of View (PoV). These experiences are known to trigger external passive tactile cues. Telexistence allows an entire body shift from a first-person PoV, compared to RHI and OBE...
Often overlooked in human-robot interaction is the challenge of people detection. For natural interaction, a robot must detect people without waiting for them to face the camera, get far enough away to be fully present, or center themselves fully within the field of view. Furthermore, it must happen without requiring immense amounts of processing that are not practical for real systems. In this work...
Trust in automation is a crucial ingredient for successful human robot interaction. Both human related and robot related factors influence the user's trust on the robot and it is challenging to characterize each of these factors and study how they affect human trust. In this study we try to understand how blame attribution after an error impacts user trust. Three different robot personalities were...
Recent research indicates that other factors in addition to appearance may contribute to the “Uncanny Valley” effect, and it is possible that “uncanny actions” such as “robot telepathy” - the nonverbal exchange of information among multiple robots - could be one such factor. We thus specifically examine whether humans are negatively affected by displays of nonverbal robot-robot communication through...
