UpStory: the Uppsala Storytelling dataset
Marc Fraile, Natalia Calvo-Barajas, Anastasia Sophia Apeiron +4
Friendship and rapport play an important role in the formation of constructive social interactions, and have been widely studied in educational settings due to their impact on stud…
SLOT-V: Supervised Learning of Observer Models for Legible Robot Motion Planning in Manipulation
Sebastian Wallkotter, Mohamed Chetouani, Ginevra Castellano
We present SLOT-V, a novel supervised learning framework that learns observer models (human preferences) from robot motion trajectories in a legibility context. Legibility measures…
A new approach to evaluating legibility: Comparing legibility frameworks using framework-independent robot motion trajectories
Sebastian Wallkotter, Mohamed Chetouani, Ginevra Castellano
Robots that share an environment with humans may communicate their intent using a variety of different channels. Movement is one of these channels and, particularly in manipulation…
Does the Goal Matter? Emotion Recognition Tasks Can Change the Social Value of Facial Mimicry towards Artificial Agents
Giulia Perugia, Maike Paetzel-Prüssman, Isabelle Hupont +4
In this paper, we present a study aimed at understanding whether the embodiment and humanlikeness of an artificial agent can affect people's spontaneous and instructed mimicry of i…
I Can See it in Your Eyes: Gaze as an Implicit Cue of Uncanniness and Task Performance in Repeated Interactions
Giulia Perugia, Maike Paetzel-Prüsmann, Madelene Alanenpää +1
Over the past years, extensive research has been dedicated to developing robust platforms and data-driven dialog models to support long-term human-robot interactions. However, litt…
A Robot by Any Other Frame: Framing and Behaviour Influence Mind Perception in Virtual but not Real-World Environments
Sebastian Wallkotter, Rebecca Stower, Arvid Kappas +1
Mind perception in robots has been an understudied construct in human-robot interaction (HRI) compared to similar concepts such as anthropomorphism and the intentional stance. In a…
Explainable Agents Through Social Cues: A Review
Sebastian Wallkotter, Silvia Tulli, Ginevra Castellano +2
The issue of how to make embodied agents explainable has experienced a surge of interest over the last three years, and, there are many terms that refer to this concept, e.g., tran…
Fast Adaptation with Meta-Reinforcement Learning for Trust Modelling in Human-Robot Interaction
Yuan Gao, Elena Sibirtseva, Ginevra Castellano +1
In socially assistive robotics, an important research area is the development of adaptation techniques and their effect on human-robot interaction. We present a meta-learning based…
Empathic Robot for Group Learning: A Field Study
Patricia Alves-Oliveira, Pedro Sequeira, Francisco S. Melo +2
This work explores a group learning scenario with an autonomous empathic robot. We address two research questions: (1) Can an autonomous robot designed with empathic competencies f…
Learning Socially Appropriate Robot Approaching Behavior Toward Groups using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Yuan Gao, Fangkai Yang, Martin Frisk +3
Deep reinforcement learning has recently been widely applied in robotics to study tasks such as locomotion and grasping, but its application to social human-robot interaction (HRI)…
