Investigating spatial relationships in human-robot interactions

چکیده
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-of-Oz study confirms that the preferred spatial distance and spatial formations encountered can be modeled to this framework, but equally reveal novel patterns of spatial cooperation in interaction episodes. Furthermore, it is claimed that a simplistic parameterization and measurement of spatial interaction miss the dynamic character and might be counterproductive in the design of socially appropriate robots.

Investigating the Effective Physical Factorson Promoting Social Interactions in CulturalComplexes
The success of urban spaces is proportional to the extent in which that space is being used and to human presence. In fact, architecture and urban planning should attempt to enhance social interactions and human solidarity rather than differentiation and separation. However, today what is witnessed in most of urban spaces is reduction of relationships and social participation of those residing ...
متن کاملUsing Spatial Language in a Human-Robot Dialog
In conversation, people often use spatial relationships to describe their environment, e.g., “There is a desk in front of me and a doorway behind it”, and to issue directives, e.g., “Go around the desk and through the doorway.” In our research, we have been investigating the use of spatial relationships to establish a natural communication mechanism between people and robots, in particular, for...
متن کاملInvestigating the mechanism of the void's physical-semantic effect on social interactions
The depth of the void concept has extended the range of its effects from philosophy to various sciences and even types of art. In architecture, due to the importance of the spacing effect and architectural components on behavior, void finds a different role that seems to be less addressed in contemporary architecture. If void, regardless of its hidden meaning, is referred to as "empty space," a...
