Expectations, Explanations, and Embodiment: Attempts at Robot Failure Recovery
Elmira Yadollahi, Fethiye Irmak Dogan, Yujing Zhang +4
Expectations critically shape how people form judgments about robots, influencing whether they view failures as minor technical glitches or deal-breaking flaws. This work explores…
BT-ACTION: A Test-Driven Approach for Modular Understanding of User Instruction Leveraging Behaviour Trees and LLMs
Alexander Leszczynski, Sarah Gillet, Iolanda Leite +1
Natural language instructions are often abstract and complex, requiring robots to execute multiple subtasks even for seemingly simple queries. For example, when a user asks a robot…
Let's move on: Topic Change in Robot-Facilitated Group Discussions
Georgios Hadjiantonis, Sarah Gillet, Marynel Vázquez +2
Robot-moderated group discussions have the potential to facilitate engaging and productive interactions among human participants. Previous work on topic management in conversationa…
How do Humans take an Object from a Robot: Behavior changes observed in a User Study
Parag Khanna, Elmira Yadollahi, Iolanda Leite +2
To facilitate human-robot interaction and gain human trust, a robot should recognize and adapt to changes in human behavior. This work documents different human behaviors observed…
STREAK: Streaming Network for Continual Learning of Object Relocations under Household Context Drifts
Ermanno Bartoli, Fethiye Irmak Dogan, Iolanda Leite
In real-world settings, robots are expected to assist humans across diverse tasks and still continuously adapt to dynamic changes over time. For example, in domestic environments,…
The 1st InterAI Workshop: Interactive AI for Human-centered Robotics
Yuchong Zhang, Elmira Yadollahi, Yong Ma +3
The workshop is affiliated with 33nd IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN 2024) August 26~30, 2023 / Pasadena, CA, USA. It is designed…
A Model-Agnostic Approach for Semantically Driven Disambiguation in Human-Robot Interaction
Fethiye Irmak Dogan, Maithili Patel, Weiyu Liu +2
Ambiguities are inevitable in human-robot interaction, especially when a robot follows user instructions in a large, shared space. For example, if a user asks the robot to find an…
Effects of Explanation Strategies to Resolve Failures in Human-Robot Collaboration
Parag Khanna, Elmira Yadollahi, Mårten Björkman +2
Despite significant improvements in robot capabilities, they are likely to fail in human-robot collaborative tasks due to high unpredictability in human environments and varying hu…
A Systematic Review on Reproducibility in Child-Robot Interaction
Micol Spitale, Rebecca Stower, Elmira Yadollahi +4
Research reproducibility - i.e., rerunning analyses on original data to replicate the results - is paramount for guaranteeing scientific validity. However, reproducibility is often…
