If You Are Careful, So Am I! How Robot Communicative Motions Can Influence Human Approach in a Joint Task
Linda Lastrico, Nuno Ferreira Duarte, Alessandro Carfì +4
As humans, we have a remarkable capacity for reading the characteristics of objects only by observing how another person carries them. Indeed, how we perform our actions naturally…
"iCub, We Forgive You!" Investigating Trust in a Game Scenario with Kids
Francesca Cocchella, Giulia Pusceddu, Giulia Belgiovine +3
This study presents novel strategies to investigate the mutual influence of trust and group dynamics in children-robot interaction. We implemented a game-like experimental activity…
Robots with Different Embodiments Can Express and Influence Carefulness in Object Manipulation
Linda Lastrico, Luca Garello, Francesco Rea +4
Humans have an extraordinary ability to communicate and read the properties of objects by simply watching them being carried by someone else. This level of communicative skills and…
Shared perception is different from individual perception: a new look on context dependency
Carlo Mazzola, Francesco Rea, Alessandra Sciutti
Human perception is based on unconscious inference, where sensory input integrates with prior information. This phenomenon, known as context dependency, helps in facing the uncerta…
Validating a Cortisol-Inspired Framework for Human-Robot Interaction with a Replication of the Still Face Paradigm
Sara Mongile, Ana Tanevska, Francesco Rea +1
When interacting with others in our everyday life, we prefer the company of those who share with us the same desire of closeness and intimacy (or lack thereof), since this determin…
Synthesis and Execution of Communicative Robotic Movements with Generative Adversarial Networks
Luca Garello, Linda Lastrico, Alessandra Sciutti +3
Object manipulation is a natural activity we perform every day. How humans handle objects can communicate not only the willfulness of the acting, or key aspects of the context wher…
