Your Robot Will Feel You Now: Empathy in Robots and Embodied Agents
Angelica Lim, Ö. Nilay Yalçin
The fields of human-robot interaction (HRI) and embodied conversational agents (ECAs) have long studied how empathy could be implemented in machines. One of the major drivers has b…
Contextual Emotion Estimation from Image Captions
Vera Yang, Archita Srivastava, Yasaman Etesam +2
Emotion estimation in images is a challenging task, typically using computer vision methods to directly estimate people's emotions using face, body pose and contextual cues. In thi…
The dynamic nature of trust: Trust in Human-Robot Interaction revisited
Jimin Rhim, Sonya S. Kwak, Angelica Lim +1
The role of robots is expanding from tool to collaborator. Socially assistive robots (SARs) are an example of collaborative robots that assist humans in the real world. As robots e…
Towards Inclusive HRI: Using Sim2Real to Address Underrepresentation in Emotion Expression Recognition
Saba Akhyani, Mehryar Abbasi Boroujeni, Mo Chen +1
Robots and artificial agents that interact with humans should be able to do so without bias and inequity, but facial perception systems have notoriously been found to work more poo…
Data-driven emotional body language generation for social robotics
Mina Marmpena, Fernando Garcia, Angelica Lim +2
In social robotics, endowing humanoid robots with the ability to generate bodily expressions of affect can improve human-robot interaction and collaboration, since humans attribute…
Read the Room: Adapting a Robot's Voice to Ambient and Social Contexts
Paige Tuttosi, Emma Hughson, Akihiro Matsufuji +1
How should a robot speak in a formal, quiet and dark, or a bright, lively and noisy environment? By designing robots to speak in a more social and ambient-appropriate manner we can…
The Many Faces of Anger: A Multicultural Video Dataset of Negative Emotions in the Wild (MFA-Wild)
Roya Javadi, Angelica Lim
The portrayal of negative emotions such as anger can vary widely between cultures and contexts, depending on the acceptability of expressing full-blown emotions rather than suppres…
Developing a Data-Driven Categorical Taxonomy of Emotional Expressions in Real World Human Robot Interactions
Ghazal Saheb Jam, Jimin Rhim, Angelica Lim
Emotions are reactions that can be expressed through a variety of social signals. For example, anger can be expressed through a scowl, narrowed eyes, a long stare, or many other ex…
SFU-Store-Nav: A Multimodal Dataset for Indoor Human Navigation
Zhitian Zhang, Jimin Rhim, Taher Ahmadi +3
This article describes a dataset collected in a set of experiments that involves human participants and a robot. The set of experiments was conducted in the computing science robot…
The OMG-Empathy Dataset: Evaluating the Impact of Affective Behavior in Storytelling
Pablo Barros, Nikhil Churamani, Angelica Lim +1
Processing human affective behavior is important for developing intelligent agents that interact with humans in complex interaction scenarios. A large number of current approaches…
Commodifying Pointing in HRI: Simple and Fast Pointing Gesture Detection from RGB-D Images
Bita Azari, Angelica Lim, Richard T. Vaughan
We present and characterize a simple method for detecting pointing gestures suitable for human-robot interaction applications using a commodity RGB-D camera. We exploit a state-of-…
