Robot-Centric Perception of Human Groups
Angelique Taylor, Darren M. Chan, Laurel D. Riek
Abstract: The robotics community continually strives to create
robots that are deployable in real-world environments. Often,
robots are expected to interact with human groups. To achieve this
goal, we introduce a new method, the Robot-Centric Group
Estimation ...

The Robot Makers: An Ethnography of Anthropomorphism at a Robotics
Company
Bohkyung Chun, Heather Knight
Abstract: This article is an ethnographic exploration of robot
anthropomorphism at a robotics company. It draws on a 10-month
participatory ethnography among a robotics company, an
anthropologist, and a social robotics research lab. In contrast to
psychological ...

Personality Traits for a Social Mediator Robot Encouraging Elderly
Self-Disclosure on Loss Experiences
Yohei Noguchi, Hiroko Kamide, Fumihide Tanaka
Abstract: To prevent elderly people from being socially isolated,
encouraging their self-disclosure takes an important role. We
discuss a use case of social robots in which they are deployed as
mediators for humans that intermediate remote communication
between ...

Laying the Groundwork for Intra-Robotic-Natural Limb Coordination:
Is Fully Manual Control Viable?
Jacob W. Guggenheim, Federico Parietti, Tamar Flash, H. Harry
Asada
Abstract: Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) have been
successfully applied in bracing and as an assistive technology for
people with disabilities. These tasks only require perception
internal to the SRL-human system. However, SRLs show promise in
applications ...

Robot Errors in Proximate HRI: How Functionality Framing Affects
Perceived Reliability and Trust
Auriel Washburn, Akanimoh Adeleye, Thomas An, Laurel D. Riek
Abstract: Advancements within human–robot interaction generate
increasing opportunities for proximate, goal-directed joint action
(GDJA). However, robot errors are common and researchers must
determine how to mitigate them. In this article, we examine how
...

Challenges in Designing a Fully Autonomous Socially Assistive
Robot for People with Parkinson’s Disease
Jason R. Wilson, Linda Tickle-Degnen, Matthias Scheutz
Abstract: Assistive robots are becoming an increasingly important
application platform for research in robotics, AI, and HRI, as
there is a pressing need to develop systems that support the
elderly and people with disabilities, with a clear path to market.
Yet, ...

A Conversational Robot for Older Adults with Alzheimer’s Disease
Chloé Pou-Prom, Stefania Raimondo, Frank Rudzicz
Abstract: Amid the rising cost of Alzheimer’s disease (AD),
assistive health technologies can reduce care-giving burden by
aiding in assessment, monitoring, and therapy. This article
presents a pilot study testing the feasibility and effect of a
conversational ...
