Embodied Social Interaction for Service Robots in Hallway Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A key aspect of service robotics for everyday use is the motion in close proximity to humans. It is essential that the robot exhibits a behaviour that signals safety of motion and awareness of the persons in the environment. To achieve this, there is a need to define control strategies that are perceived as socially acceptable by users that are not familiar with robots. In this paper a system for navigation in a hallway is presented, in which the rules of proxemics are used to define the interaction strategies. The experimental results show the contribution to the establishment of effective spatial interaction patterns between the robot and a person.

Traditionally, social interaction research has concentrated on either fully virtually embodied agents (e.g. embodied conversational agents) or fully physically embodied agents (e.g. robots). For some time, however, both areas have started augmenting their agents’ capabilities for social interaction using ubiquitous and intelligent environments. We are placing different agent systems for social ...

Research on service robots especially for health care or home assistant has been in growing interest during last decades. New solutions are needed to assist elderly people and personnel working in elderly houses or in hospitals. Demographic change as the population is aging will affect in other service domains as well. In the current paper, we describe a scalable service robot system designed f...
متن کاملDesigning Embodied Cues for Dialog with Robots
Of all computational systems, robots are unique in their ability to afford embodied interaction using the wider range of human communicative cues. Research on human communication provides strong evidence that embodied cues, when used effectively, elicit social, cognitive, and task outcomes such as improved learning, rapport, motivation, persuasion, and collaborative task performance. While this...

Co-presence and embodied interaction are two fundamental characteristics of the command and control situation for service robots. This paper presents a study of spatial distances and orientation of a robot with respect to a human user in an experimental setting. Relevant concepts of spatiality from social interaction studies are introduced and related to Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). A Wizard-...
