Reframing HRI Education: A Dialogic Reformulation of HRI Education to Promote Diverse Thinking and Scientific Progress

HRI as a Tool to Monitor Socio-Emotional Development in Early Childhood Education

Sociable robots are benefiting from machine perception systems that automatically recognize social behavior (e.g., detect and recognize people, recognize their facial expressions and gestures). These systems can be used to support sophisticated forms of human-robot interaction. In addition the data provided by the perceptual systems can be data-mined to discover the socioemotional structure of ...

HRI and bacterial infection

Phosphorylation of eIF2α by its kinases is a stress response universally conserved among the eukaryota. Previously, we reported that the eIF2α kinases Heme Regulator Inhibitor (HRI) and Protein Kinase R (PKR) control distinct activities of diverse bacterial pathogens. Specifically for Listeria monocytogenes, it was shown that in HRIdeficient cells there was a reduction in the translocation of t...

Redesigning a General Education Science Course to Promote Critical Thinking

Recent studies question the effectiveness of a traditional university curriculum in helping students improve their critical thinking and scientific literacy. We developed an introductory, general education (gen ed) science course to overcome both deficiencies. The course, titled Foundations of Science, differs from most gen ed science offerings in that it is interdisciplinary; emphasizes the na...

DELIVERABLE D2.2.2 Conceptual HRI Design, Usability Testing, HRI Interaction Patterns, and HRI Principles for Remotely Controlled Service Robots (Final)

Intelligent Robotics HRI Recap

An investigation is conducted regarding embodiment (in the context of the paper embodiment is an intelligent agent present in real world) and it’s effect on tutoring behaviour as opposed to nonembodied agents. Experiment consisted of cup stacking task that had to be taught to a learner present in either of four conditions: 1) simulation w/o head movements (only eyes); 2) simulation w/head movem...
