Abstract We argue for an interdisciplinary approach that connects existing models and theories in Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) to traditions communication theory. In this article, we review of interpersonal interaction have been applied developed the contexts HRI social robotics. often, symmetric are proposed which human robot agents depicted as having similar ways functioning (similar capabil...

We report work on a LEGO robot capable of displaying several emotional expressions in response to physical contact. Our motivation has been to explore believable emotional exchanges to achieve plausible interaction with a simple robot. We have worked toward this goal in two ways. First, acknowledging the importance of physical manipulation in children’s interactions, interaction with the robot ...

Anticipatory behavior based on the human behavior prediction enables the robot to improve the quality of its assistance in physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). However, predictions are partly afflicted with high uncertainties originating from the intrinsic variability in human behavior and the influence of the environment which requires the negotiation among the partners. In this paper, we ...

The idea to use a cost-effective pneumatic padding for sensing of physical interaction between a user and wearable rehabilitation robots is not new, but until now there has not been any practical relevant realization. In this paper, we present a novel method to estimate physical human-robot interaction using a pneumatic padding based on artificial neural networks (ANNs). This estimation can ser...

Psychophysiological measurements, which serve as objective indicators of psychological state, have recently been introduced into human–robot interaction. However, their usefulness in haptic interaction is uncertain, since they are influenced by physical workload. This study analyses psychophysiological responses to a haptic task with three different difficulty levels and two different levels of...

In robotics, many control and planning schemes have been developed to ensure human physical safety in human-robot interaction. The psychological state the expectation towards robot, however, are typically neglected. Even if robot behaviour is regarded as biomechanically safe, humans may still react with a rapid involuntary motion (IM) caused by startle or surprise. Such sudden, uncontrolled mot...

We present a systematic survey of computational research in humanrobot interaction (HRI) over the past decade. Computational HRI is the subset of the field that is specifically concerned with the algorithms, techniques, models, and frameworks necessary to build robotic systems that engage in social interactions with humans. Within the field of robotics, HRI poses distinct computational challeng...
