What and How Are We Reporting in HRI? A Review and Recommendations for Reporting Recruitment, Compensation, and Gender
Julia R. Cordero, Thomas R. Groechel, Maja J. Matarić
Study reproducibility and generalizability of results to broadly inclusive populations is crucial in any research. Previous meta-analyses in HRI have focused on the consistency of…
Quori: A Community-Informed Design of a Socially Interactive Humanoid Robot
Andrew Specian, Ross Mead, Simon Kim +2
Hardware platforms for socially interactive robotics can be limited by cost or lack of functionality. This paper presents the overall system -- design, hardware, and software -- fo…
Long-Term, in-the-Wild Study of Feedback about Speech Intelligibility for K-12 Students Attending Class via a Telepresence Robot
Matthew Rueben, Mohammad Syed, Emily London +7
Telepresence robots offer presence, embodiment, and mobility to remote users, making them promising options for homebound K-12 students. It is difficult, however, for robot operato…
Design and Evaluation of a Hair Combing System Using a General-Purpose Robotic Arm
Nathaniel Dennler, Eura Shin, Maja Matarić +1
This work introduces an approach for automatic hair combing by a lightweight robot. For people living with limited mobility, dexterity, or chronic fatigue, combing hair is often a…
Affect-Aware Deep Belief Network Representations for Multimodal Unsupervised Deception Detection
Leena Mathur, Maja J Matarić
Automated systems that detect the social behavior of deception can enhance human well-being across medical, social work, and legal domains. Labeled datasets to train supervised dec…
Modeling User Empathy Elicited by a Robot Storyteller
Leena Mathur, Micol Spitale, Hao Xi +2
Virtual and robotic agents capable of perceiving human empathy have the potential to participate in engaging and meaningful human-machine interactions that support human well-being…
Personalizing User Engagement Dynamics in a Non-Verbal Communication Game for Cerebral Palsy
Nathaniel Dennler, Catherine Yunis, Jonathan Realmuto +3
Children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP) can have involuntary upper limb movements as a consequence of the symptoms that characterize their motor disability, leading to difficu…
Simulation-Based Analysis of COVID-19 Spread Through Classroom Transmission on a University Campus
Arvin Hekmati, Mitul Luhar, Bhaskar Krishnamachari +1
Airborne transmission is now believed to be the primary way that COVID-19 spreads. We study the airborne transmission risk associated with holding in-person classes on university c…
Personalized Affect-Aware Socially Assistive Robot Tutors Aimed at Fostering Social Grit in Children with Autism
Zhonghao Shi, Manwei Cao, Sophia Pei +3
Affect-aware socially assistive robotics (SAR) tutors have great potential to augment and democratize professional therapeutic interventions for children with autism spectrum disor…
Toward Automated Generation of Affective Gestures from Text:A Theory-Driven Approach
Micol Spitale, Maja J Matarić
Communication in both human-human and human-robot interac-tion (HRI) contexts consists of verbal (speech-based) and non-verbal(facial expressions, eye gaze, gesture, body pose, etc…
Unsupervised Audio-Visual Subspace Alignment for High-Stakes Deception Detection
Leena Mathur, Maja J Matarić
Automated systems that detect deception in high-stakes situations can enhance societal well-being across medical, social work, and legal domains. Existing models for detecting high…
Toward Personalized Affect-Aware Socially Assistive Robot Tutors in Long-Term Interventions for Children with Autism
Zhonghao Shi, Thomas R Groechel, Shomik Jain +3
Affect-aware socially assistive robotics (SAR) has shown great potential for augmenting interventions for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, current SAR cannot…
Introducing Representations of Facial Affect in Automated Multimodal Deception Detection
Leena Mathur, Maja J Matarić
Automated deception detection systems can enhance health, justice, and security in society by helping humans detect deceivers in high-stakes situations across medical and legal dom…
Modeling Engagement in Long-Term, In-Home Socially Assistive Robot Interventions for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Shomik Jain, Balasubramanian Thiagarajan, Zhonghao Shi +2
