Emotional Expression in Low-Degrees-of-Freedom Robots: Assessing Perception with Reachy Mini

Amit Rogel, Elmira Yadollahi, Guy Laban

Emotion expression is central to human--robot interaction, yet little is known about how people interpret affect on robots with sparse, non-anthropomorphic expressive capabilities.…

Adapting Robot's Explanation for Failures Based on Observed Human Behavior in Human-Robot Collaboration

Andreas Naoum, Parag Khanna, Elmira Yadollahi +2

This work aims to interpret human behavior to anticipate potential user confusion when a robot provides explanations for failure, allowing the robot to adapt its explanations for m…
