"Why the face?": Exploring Robot Error Detection Using Instrumented Bystander Reactions

Maria Teresa Parreira, Ruidong Zhang, Sukruth Gowdru Lingaraju +7

How do humans recognize and rectify social missteps? We achieve social competence by looking around at our peers, decoding subtle cues from bystanders - a raised eyebrow, a laugh -…

The Bystander Affect Detection (BAD) Dataset for Failure Detection in HRI

Alexandra Bremers, Maria Teresa Parreira, Xuanyu Fang +6

For a robot to repair its own error, it must first know it has made a mistake. One way that people detect errors is from the implicit reactions from bystanders -- their confusion,…
