A robot coexisting with humans must not only be able to perform physical tasks, but must also be able to interact with humans in a socially appropriate manner. In many social settings, this involves the use of social signals like gaze, facial expression, and language. In this paper, we describe an application of planning to task-based social interaction using a robot that must interact with mul...

Affective computing can be implemented across many fields in order to provide a unique experience by tailoring services and products according each person’s needs interests. More specifically, digital learning robotics education benefit from affective with redesign of the curriculum’s contents based on students’ emotions during teaching. This key feature is observed traditional methods, robot t...

Human-robot interaction poses great challenges to disabled people who must be able to control the robot via a limited physical ability. A novel semi-autonomous humanrobot system where the robot requires only the commands from the human to perform its tasks as proposed. In this system a relatively more flexible and robust communication technique generates commands from Electromyogram (EMG) signa...

“Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is a challenging research field at the intersection of psychology, cognitive science, the social sciences, artificial intelligence, computer science, robotics, engineering and human-computer interaction (Dautenhahn, 2007).” This broad field encompasses almost all situations where humans and robots are co-located and many methodologies and approaches are borrowed f...

Closer interaction in Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) could result increased worker ef?ciency manufacturing situations. However, physical cages often limit this. Our research is investigating the potential for using Augmented Reality (AR) to visualise virtual safety zones, thus replacing real cages. This paper presents initial experiments towards addressing issues of how display zones and what ...

Since the strict separation of working spaces of humans and robots has experienced a softening due to recent robotics research achievements, close interaction of humans and robots comes rapidly into reach. In this context, physical human– robot interaction raises a number of questions regarding a desired intuitive robot behavior. The continuous bilateral information and energy exchange requires...

Recent work identified a concerning trend of disproportional gender representation in research participants Human–Computer Interaction (HCI). Motivated by the fact that Human–Robot (HRI) shares many participant practices with HCI, we explored whether this is mirrored our field. By producing dataset covering all 684 full papers published at HRI conference from 2006–2021, identify current trends ...
