Emerging Roles for Social Robots in Rehabilitation: Current
Directions
Allison Langer, Shelly Levy-Tzedek
Abstract: Insights from social and cognitive neuroscience should
inform the design of socially assistive robots for
neurorehabilitation as novel roles emerge for them in human-human
interactions.

Data-Driven Imitation Learning for a Shopkeeper Robot with
Periodically Changing Product Information
Malcolm Doering, Dražen Brščić, Takayuki Kanda
Abstract: Data-driven imitation learning enables service robots to
learn social interaction behaviors, but these systems cannot adapt
after training to changes in the environment, such as changing
products in a store. To solve this, a novel learning system that
...

Robo Ludens: A Game Design Taxonomy for Multiplayer Games Using
Socially Interactive Robots
John Edison MUñOZ, Kerstin Dautenhahn
Abstract: The use of games as vehicles to study human-robot
interaction (HRI) has been established as a suitable solution to
create more realistic and naturalistic opportunities to
investigate human behavior. In particular, multiplayer games that
involve at least ...

Robot-Delivered Cognitive Stimulation Games for Older Adults:
Usability and Acceptability Evaluation
Norina Gasteiger, Ho Seok Ahn, Chiara Gasteiger, Christopher Lee,
Jongyoon Lim, Christine Fok, Bruce A. Macdonald, Geon Ha Kim,
Elizabeth Broadbent
Abstract: Cognitive stimulation games delivered on robots may be
able to improve cognitive functioning and delay decline in older
adults. However, little is known about older adults’ in-depth
opinions of robot-delivered games, as current research primarily
...

Tactile Perception for Teleoperated Robotic Exploration within
Granular Media
Shengxin Jia, Veronica J. Santos
Abstract: The sense of touch is essential for locating buried
objects when vision-based approaches are limited. We present an
approach for tactile perception when sensorized robot fingertips
are used to directly interact with granular media particles in ...

Cognitive Impact of Anthropomorphized Robot Gaze: Anthropomorphic
Gaze as Social Cues
Nicolas Spatola, Pascal Huguet
Abstract: Attentional control does not have fix functioning and
can be strongly impacted by the presence of other human beings or
humanoid robots. In two studies, this phenomenon was investigated
while focusing exclusively on robot gaze as a potential
determinant ...

The Need for Verbal Robot Explanations and How People Would Like a
Robot to Explain Itself
Zhao Han, Elizabeth Phillips, Holly A. Yanco
Abstract: Although non-verbal cues such as arm movement and eye
gaze can convey robot intention, they alone may not provide enough
information for a human to fully understand a robot’s behavior. To
better understand how to convey robot intention, we conducted an
...

Mixed-initiative Variable Autonomy for Remotely Operated Mobile
Robots
Manolis Chiou, Nick Hawes, Rustam Stolkin
Abstract: This article presents an Expert-guided Mixed-initiative
Control Switcher (EMICS) for remotely operated mobile robots. The
EMICS enables switching between different levels of autonomy
during task execution initiated by either the human operator
and/or ...

What Happens When Robots Punish? Evaluating Human Task Performance
During Robot-Initiated Punishment
Himavath Jois, Alan R. Wagner
Abstract: This article examines how people respond to
robot-administered verbal and physical punishments. Human
participants were tasked with sorting colored chips under time
pressure and were punished by a robot when they made mistakes,
such as inaccurate ...

https://doi.org/10.1145/3472207.
Are Preferences Useful for Better Assistance?: A Physically
Assistive Robotics User Study
Gerard Canal, Carme Torras, Guillem Alenyà
Abstract: Assistive Robots have an inherent need of adapting to
the user they are assisting. This is crucial for the correct
development of the task, user safety, and comfort. However,
adaptation can be performed in several manners. We believe user
preferences ...

Methods for Expressing Robot Intent for Human–Robot Collaboration
in Shared Workspaces
Gregory Lemasurier, Gal Bejerano, Victoria Albanese, Jenna
Parrillo, Holly A. Yanco, Nicholas Amerson, Rebecca Hetrick,
Elizabeth Phillips
Abstract: Human–robot collaboration is becoming increasingly
common in factories around the world; accordingly, we need to
improve the interaction experiences between humans and robots
working in these spaces. In this article, we report on a user
study that ...

Social Robots for the Care of Persons with Dementia: A Systematic
Review
Moojan Ghafurian, Jesse Hoey, Kerstin Dautenhahn
Abstract: Intelligent assistive robots can enhance the quality of
life of people with dementia and their caregivers. They can
increase the independence of older adults, reduce tensions between
a person with dementia and their caregiver, and increase social
...
