We developed a Sociable Trash Box (STB) as a children-assisted robot able to collect the trash in order to convey its intentional stance to children. The STB is capable of engaging manifold affiliation behaviors to build a social rapport with children by collecting the trash around their environment. In particular, the STB is a child-dependent robot that walks alone in a public space for tracing humans...
This article presents the first experiments conducted on the interaction model of the EmotiRob project. It presents the experimental protocol, the evaluation grid and the results, and a short description of the robot's architecture.
In this paper, we propose a therapeutic-assisted robot for children with autism to ameliorate their cof joint attention. The robot conducts a goal-directed based interaction to establish engagement between the child and robot in order to establish a beneficial learning environment for autistic children. An unsupervised Mixture Gaussian-based cluster method is proposed to detect the child's intention...
A joint learning approach is described that meets a major challenge with social robots - developing a methodology for learning communicative behaviors. We focus on interaction rule that is relationship between a robot's action and a partner's response. In this approach a robot is simultaneously a learner and proposer of interaction rules. The human partner and robot continuously search for and co-create...
In this paper, we explore the design of modular robotic objects that may enhance playful experiences. The approach builds upon the development of modular robotics to create a kind of playware, which is flexible in both set-up and activity building for the end-user to allow easy creation of games. Key features of this design approach are modularity, flexibility, and construction, immediate feedback...
Lately, there has been increasing field studies harnessing robots for educational purposes. Various studies into teaching assistant robots (or peer tutoring robots), in particular, are proving to be effective tools of language education because robots are remarkably successful in eliminating the affective filter. However, there is decreased in their interaction with children as time passes. The biggest...
As robots become more common across society, there is a pressing need to deal with questions of moral responsibility and legal liability in accidents involving semi-autonomous and autonomous machines. Previous attempts to address these questions have assumed machines with either minimal autonomy or full intelligence, and thus have not adequately considered the current and likely future state of the...
Emotional regulation is believed to be crucial for a balanced emotional and cognitive development in infants. Furthermore, during the first year of a child's life, the mother is playing a central role in shaping the development, through the attachment bond she shares with her child. Based on previous work on our model of arousal modulation for an autonomous robot, we present an experiment where human...
Human social behavior is rhythmic, and synchrony plays an important role in coordinating and regulating our interactions. We are developing technology that allows the robot Keepon to perceive and behave rhythmically, and to synchronize its dancing behaviors to music or to children's movement as perceived using pressure sensors. We present two experiments in which Keepon dances with children to music,...
Questionnaires have been conducted to the owners of Paro in order to investigate people living with Paro at home. Although service robots such as AIBO have been commercialized and tend to be familiar with us, researches on owners' background are few. The owners of Paro answered the questionnaires and 85 feedbacks were obtained. The results showed that majority of the owners were females and have kept...
In this paper we present a robotic head designed for interaction with humans, endowed with mechanisms to make the robot respond to social interaction with emotional expressions, allowing the emotional expression of the robot to be directly influenced by the social interaction process. We look into how emotionally expressive visual feedback from the robot can enrich the interaction process and provide...
Given the recent advances in robot and synthetic character technology, many researchers are now focused on ways of establishing social relations between these agents and humans over long periods of time. Early studies have shown that the novelty effect of robots and agents quickly wears out and that people change their attitudes and preferences towards them over time. In this paper, we study the role...
Investigating how people respond to and relate to robots is a multifaceted scientific challenge. This paper reports on an experimental investigation concerning movement interference effects between a human and a robot. We compare results with that obtained by Oztop et al., however, in our study we used a small child-sized robot (KASPAR) with an overall human-like appearance. The experiment was conducted...
This paper investigates the influence of visual appearance of social robots on judgments about their potential applications. 183 participants rated the appropriateness of thirteen categories of applications for twelve social robots in an online study. The ratings were based on videos displaying the appearance of the robot combined with basic information about the robots' general functions. The results...
Can humans empathize with robot that displays emotional expressions? If a human can do this, how is it possible to create an emotionally interactive robot that will induce empathy from a human? As interest in emotional interactions with robots is increasing, the answers to these questions are increasingly sought by researchers in HRI. As a starting point to find these answers, three hypotheses are...
In this paper a sequence manager system for Robot Teaching is presented. This system allows the user to edit, execute and debug the sequence by means of speech with a multimodal social robot. The ongoing goal of the paper is to make human-robot interaction easier for the non-expert users. To achieve this we are designing a game for children where they play to teach the robot a sequence of actions...
This is a case study of the behavior that was observed when young children were given free access to Intelligent Service Robot iRobiQ during their free play time at kindergarten. The investigator conducted a 30-min observation of one class of three-year-olds and one of four-year-olds during their free play time both in the morning and in the afternoon, twice a week, from December 2008 to February...
This article presents the next experiments we will conduct on the interaction model of EmotiRob project. It describes the first experimentation we had done, the experimental protocol and the evaluation grid.
We present an analysis based on user-provided content collected from online blogs and forums about the robotic artifact Pleo. Our primary goal is to explore stories about how human-robot interaction would manifest themselves in actual real-world contexts. To be able to assess these types of communicative media we are using a method based on virtual ethnography that specifically addresses underlying...
In developmental research, tutoring behavior has been identified as scaffolding infants' learning processes. Infants seem sensitive to tutoring situations and they detect these by ostensive cues. Some social signals such as eye-gaze, child-directed speech (Motherese), child-directed motion (Motionese), and contingency have been shown to serve as ostensive cues. The concept of contingency describes...
