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…
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…
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…
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…
