I am Only Happy When There is Light: The Impact of Environmental Changes on Affective Facial Expressions Recognition
Doreen Jirak, Alessandra Sciutti, Pablo Barros +1
Human-robot interaction (HRI) benefits greatly from advances in the machine learning field as it allows researchers to employ high-performance models for perceptual tasks like dete…
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…
Incorporating Rivalry in Reinforcement Learning for a Competitive Game
Pablo Barros, Ozge Nilay Yalcın, Ana Tanevska +1
Recent advances in reinforcement learning with social agents have allowed such models to achieve human-level performance on specific interaction tasks. However, most interactive sc…
CIAO! A Contrastive Adaptation Mechanism for Non-Universal Facial Expression Recognition
Pablo Barros, Alessandra Sciutti
Current facial expression recognition systems demand an expensive re-training routine when deployed to different scenarios than they were trained for. Biasing them towards learning…
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…
