Toward User-Mediated Self-Repair in Ubiquitous Robots Through Goal-Oriented Agentic AI
Morten Roed Frederiksen
Ubiquitous robotic systems often lack traditional visual interfaces, necessitating resilient natural language interaction for maintenance and repair tasks. This paper presents a go…
Designing Task-Induced Arousal: A Multimodal Stress Induction Method for Interactive Experiments
Morten Roed Frederiksen
HCI and HRI studies often require short, repeatable arousal manipulations that can run while participants continue interacting with a device or robot. These experiments are often c…
Toward Self-Repairing Ubiquitous Robots Using Goal-Oriented Agentic AI in Human-Robot Interactions
Morten Roed Frederiksen
Ubiquitous robotic systems often lack traditional visual interfaces, making natural language interaction important for maintenance and repair. This paper presents a goal-oriented a…
Diminishing Returns of Intelligence: The Non-Linear Relationship Between LLM Scale and User Perception in Short-Duration Open-Ended Social Human-Robot Interactions
Amanda Rasille Røn Volf, Morten Roed Frederiksen
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to drive embodied social agents, yet it remains unclear whether larger models improve user perception during brief human-robot en…
Feasibility of Embedded Photoplethysmography Sensing in Short-Duration Tactile Interactions With Pocket-Sized Robots Using IMU- and Confidence-Based Filtering
Turjja Datta, Morten Roed Frederiksen
Ubiquitous companion robots offer a promising avenue for immediate anxiety relief in children, yet their effectiveness relies on the ability to monitor physiological states continu…
Synthetic Emotions vs. Gamification: Exploring Engagement Strategies for Small Social Robots in Different Age Groups
Morten Roed Frederiksen, Kasper Støy
Many children experience challenges in emotional regulation and social interaction, which can limit their participation in everyday activities and therapeutic programs. For sociall…
Inducing Calmness With Pocket-Sized Robotics: Reducing Movement and Heart Rate in Children through Hand-Held Tactile Interactions
Morten Roed Frederiksen, Kasper Støy, Maja Matarić
Periods of heightened arousal or restlessness can interfere with children's ability to focus, self-regulation, and physically calm. Technologies that encourage embodied self-regula…
Robots can defuse high-intensity conflict situations
Morten Roed Frederiksen, Kasper Støy
This paper investigates the specific scenario of high-intensity confrontations between humans and robots, to understand how robots can defuse the conflict. It focuses on the effect…
Affecta-Context: The Context-Guided Behavior Adaptation Framework
Morten Roed Frederiksen, Kasper Støy
This paper presents Affecta-context, a general framework to facilitate behavior adaptation for social robots. The framework uses information about the physical context to guide its…
On the causality between affective impact and coordinated human-robot reactions
Morten Roed Frederiksen, Kasper Støy
In an effort to improve how robots function in social contexts, this paper investigates if a robot that actively shares a reaction to an event with a human alters how the human per…
Tactile Comfort: Lowering Heart Rate Through Interactions
Morten Roed Frederiksen, Kasper Støy, Maja Matarić
Children diagnosed with anxiety disorders are taught a range of strategies to navigate situations of heightened anxiety. Techniques such as deep breathing and repetition of mantras…
Toward Anxiety-Reducing Pocket Robots for Children
Morten Roed Frederiksen, Kasper Støy, Maja Matarić
A common denominator for most therapy treatments for children who suffer from an anxiety disorder is daily practice routines to learn techniques needed to overcome anxiety. However…
Robot Vulnerability and the Elicitation of User Empathy
Morten Roed Frederiksen, Katrin Fischer, Maja Matarić
This paper describes a between-subjects Amazon Mechanical Turk study (n = 220) that investigated how a robot's affective narrative influences its ability to elicit empathy in human…
