Socially Assistive Robotics as a Subclass of Human-Robot Interaction
نویسنده
چکیده
Extended Abstract Robotic technology has been proposed as a means of automating the most repetitive of health-care and daily hygiene tasks, including getting out of bed, brushing teeth and applying makeup, and facilitated locomotion. Such systems naturally require a great deal of physical contact with human users, resulting in safety issues and concerns that have not yet been fully addressed by the state-of-the-art.

Automated Caricature of Robot Expressions in Socially Assistive Human-Robot Interaction
Children with autism spectrum disorder suffer from a deficit that prevents them from observing, interpreting, and learning social cues. Clinical studies in social skills training have proposed methods, such as exaggeration, to enhance autism intervention strategies. Socially assistive robotics is an area of human-robot interaction that has the potential to improve social activity. Inspired by s...
متن کاملBenchmarks for evaluating socially assistive robotics
Socially assistive robotics (SAR) is a growing area of research. Evaluating SAR systems presents novel challenges. Using a robot for a socially assistive task can have various benefits and ethical implications. Many questions are important to understanding whether a robot is effective for a given application domain. This paper describes several benchmarks for evaluating SAR systems. There exist...
متن کاملNonverbal Behavior Modeling for Socially Assistive Robots
The field of socially assistive robotics (SAR) aims to build robots that help people through social interaction. Human social interaction involves complex systems of behavior, and modeling these systems is one goal of SAR. Nonverbal behaviors, such as eye gaze and gesture, are particularly amenable to modeling through machine learning because the effects of the system—the nonverbal behaviors th...

S ocially intelligent robotics is the pursuit of creating robots capable of exhibiting natural-appearing social qualities. Beyond the basic capabilities of moving and acting autonomously, the field has focused on the use of the robot’s physical embodiment to communicate and interact with users in a soc...
متن کاملThe Grand Challenges in Socially Assistive Robotics
Socially Assistive Robotics focuses on helping human users through social rather than physical interaction [1]. This paper describes the broad scope of socially assistive robotics, focusing on a general description of robotic technologies that have been and are currently being developed to assist people with disabilities. The paper then proposes the grand challenges of this field, and a list of...
