Multi-Week, In-Class Deployments of Telepresence Robots With Four Homebound K-12 Students: Benefits, Challenges, and Recommendations
Matthew Rueben, Rhianna Lee, Thomas R. Groechel +4
Missing significant amounts of school during K-12 education is known to put students' cognitive and social development at risk. Alternatives such as home instruction and online lea…
An Interactive Augmented Reality Interface for Personalized Proxemics Modeling
Massimiliano Nigro, Amy O'Connell, Thomas Groechel +2
Understanding and respecting personal space preferences is essential for socially assistive robots designed for older adult users. This work introduces and evaluates a novel person…
Augmented Reality Appendages for Robots: Design Considerations and Recommendations for Maximizing Social and Functional Perception
Ipek Goktan, Karen Ly, Thomas R. Groechel +1
In order to address the limitations of gestural capabilities in physical robots, researchers in Virtual, Augmented, Mixed Reality Human-Robot Interaction (VAM-HRI) have been using…
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…
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…
A Tool for Organizing Key Characteristics of Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality for Human-Robot Interaction Systems: Synthesizing VAM-HRI Trends and Takeaways
Thomas R. Groechel, Michael E. Walker, Christine T. Chang +2
Frameworks have begun to emerge to categorize Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality (VAM) technologies that provide immersive, intuitive interfaces to facilitate Human-Robot Intera…
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 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…
Using Socially Expressive Mixed Reality Arms for Enhancing Low-Expressivity Robots
Thomas R. Groechel, Zhonghao Shi, Roxanna Pakkar +1
Expressivity--the use of multiple modalities to convey internal state and intent of a robot--is critical for interaction. Yet, due to cost, safety, and other constraints, many robo…
